>>If your not contributing to the cost of this business Wi-Fi then your stealing.
Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.<<
You are delving into business, IT morality minutia and stating an opinion with which I disagree. Not that I am right, or you.
If I understand your position correctly, you would believe that a guy that lives above a “free wi-fi” coffeeshop and accesses from his apartment would be morally in the wrong. Am I correct?
It’s not my service that you are using. I would consider it stealing if you were using my service. But then that
s why I encrypt and password protect my WiFi.
Why don’t you let the Coffee shop know what you are doing and let them decide if it’s OK with them. I don’t think that your “free” service would last much longer.
