im sure i read something along the lines that if a persons wireless network is unsecured in the eyes of the law its not illegal for you to use it. | |

yeh as drax said and i forgot to mention, its totally normal to see them come up when you're looking for a connection because for all your computer knows you own the other connections too. | |

Yes you can see them its fine, to use them, technically your putting yourself at risk if they know what they are doing and you connect as you are infact conntecting to their network most of the time. | |

its kind of stealing really, most people have protection on ie passwords etc. but you'd be surprised to find that alot of people don't and you can access their connection. | |
