When you thieve your way into my modem ... yoursignaldata packetsisaredownloadedtransmitted and/or received through MY cable and MY modem (both physical items btw - costing ME bandwidth) and then transmitted to you wirelessly ... but it had to come through MY physical property to get to you. You have used my physical property fraudulently and WITHOUT my consent for your own financial gain (by avoiding internet bills) and causing ME to pay financially. That's theft.
I just changed a few things (hopefully you will see why).
Taking away the "signal" aspect and speaking with the term data packets ( which travel over various medias in various forms ) should get us away from the argument over who 'owns' the wireless signals in the air...now that we are debating the path his/her data packets are taking (regardless of signal type), they do in fact go thru your physcial hardware once the radio/wireless path enters your router. Hardly arguable IMO, whether the person is "stealing some of your bandwidth" if this is the path their data packets are taking. 8)
