I totally believe pirating is not stealing, but this really is. Tech people are probably the highest paid profession now, you still dont want to pay for your wifi?
How much would you calculate was stolen this way? Based on which factors?
As a side note, those pesky "tech people" are most certainly not THE most paid profession, now or ever.
For readers, I totally understand trying at once but it would be odd if e.g. someone I know who makes six figures told me they exploited this on every leg of their journey.
We wouldn’t want to fill our water cups with soda even if it only costs the restaurant a penny.
I take care with this line of reasoning. It could be extended to a college class with an extra seat at the back, a chairlift at a ski resort on a slow day, that kind of thing. Using either can lead to theft of services charges.
