But you're stuck listening to what they are..<BR/><BR/>However!<BR/><BR/>If the neighbor had a ginormous-screen TV that you could see from the road, and you went out and invested $10 on a universal remote (with enough range), sitting on the curb watching her TV when she wasn't home (maybe turning on PiP when she -is- home so you both can watch at the same time).. it'd be similar.<BR/><BR/>PiP more-so, because while she could still watch what she wanted, it'd be slightly less good an experience as when she was only watching her own program, which is the same as your little brother using up her bandwidth...<BR/><BR/>But, PiP is pretty noticable; bandwidth not so much.. and therein lies the however.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15688265.post-1133468425222302232005-12-01T14:20:00.000-06:002005-12-01T14:20:00.000-06:00I sort of think of it more like his neighbor has a...I sort of think of it more like his neighbor has a really good collection of CDs and plays them loud enough so that you, in the next apartment over, enjoy them (even if he doesn't know you're listening).

However! There is such a thing in the legal world as an "easement by prescription." Basically, it means that if you keep trespassing on someone land long enough, you eventually gain the legal right to use it. (There's a similar concept called "adverse possession," where if you start living on someone's land, after a while you legally own it.)<BR/><BR/>So, really, the analogy would tell me that it's only stealing until it's not. Just like prescriptive easements.bad-journalist.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01225331414187718757noreply@blogger.com
