Stupid newbie question about legality
Sorry if this is somthing that everyone should know but I've done the net hunting and turned up nothing definitive.
I bought a USB dongle and dangled it out of the window and got an internet connection (without any configuration or special software) which I use. I have no idea who it belongs to. I live in the UK.
1) Is this illegal 2) Is this immoral (by Wireless type people definition) 3) How can I find out who's net it is and ask them nicely if I can use it. (I've done DNS lookups on my assigned IP and gateway but I just can some big network provider)Cheers, Bruce.
