Re: wireless Internet con.

In general the unauthorized use of a wireless connection is considered tresspassing and is illegal in the sense that you do not have permission to be on the network.

The use of free public networks and or those provided by vendors such as Starbucks or the local coffee house may have additional restrictions on their use as part of there terms granting you permission.

I would discontinue use unless you can establish that the network is provided as a community or other such service.
