legality of selling/sharing cable access with a neighbor

I live in a fairly new addition to an apartment building. My neighbor live in the older part that has never had cable run into it. He want me to share my cable Internet access with him using my wireless b/g router (he got a laptop for Christmas with a built-in wifi transceiver).

My questions:

Is having him pay me for this legal? If it isn't legal, is it a crime punishable by jail or is it a civil thing?

Second, if I just share my access with him at no charge, does that make any difference as far as legality goes?

Thank you.
