Well, that's what I'm saying--a network has a finite amount of bandwidth, and if you use someone else's without their consent, you are taking up a certain percentage of his bandwidth and thus potentially slowing his network down, depending on how much bandwidth you are using--which can make people mad.

Yeah. It splits the connection, like a router connected to multiple comps.
