So what happens if you have a wireless router and some kid is sitting in an apartment in your building or a car across the street using your internet to down load his movies on his laptop. It has happened to us before. How are the people that are the victums going to be treated?
saw this on the canadian forum that they are gonna be charged for internet use??? is this headed our way as well?

May be a moot point... the internet(ICANN-)has run out of ISP numbers.... looks like they're going to have to change the platform as new people come on line... according to what I read, we had a mere 4 billion numbers and they've all been used... the new platform will have one trillion or so...
Since our provider uses our land to broadcast to the valley and makes money off of it, hopefully we'll remain with free access. He only hassles us now and then if we leave something like remote cameras going that eat up a lot.
If your wireless router is being hijacked, I'd say it's time to re-think your password on the router.
I was living in a town house comlex at the time Vaughn and had some university students living next door and no matter what I was doing they were getting in to my server and using my system. I was getting lots of letters about it but changing the password did nothing.
