Well, not so true. In the US, it is illegal to leach off non public networks..aka using your neighbors high speed internet through there open wireless network. I'd much rather notify them off the issue and offer a fix (and maybe they would be gracious enough to share their connection for free/cheap). In canada, it is NOT illegal to us an open network like the scenario mentioned above.
Just my $.02
