question about using others' internet connections

pine_express85 · 01-11-2009, 11:35 AM

if someone is stealing my net, is it possible for me to look at a list of websites they are visiting?

i use a mac, and have a connection set up with time warner cable. sometimes when the service is down, i can easily connect to a linksys network. it stays connected unless i change it back my time warner network and sometimes i simply forget to do that. and, admittedly so, i check out some... ahem... questionable material. nothing illegal/disgusting like kiddie porn, but your regular run of the mill bang bus vids, ya dig? anyways, it's to each their own, don't judge me :P anyways i'm getting a little worried/embarrassed that my neighbor can see what i'm doing

and more so, could he/she complain to a building manager of the apartment and take legal action agaisnt me for stealing her net (unintentionally) and looking at material that might be offensive to them?
