When i was in the States one guy from a hosting university was accompanying us. He was as pious advocate of law and order as you are. He believed that it was, what you call it, a part of civilized practice in the USA. But when arrived in New-York, he purchased fake watches from an illegal street vendor. I told him where his civilized piousness disappeared. His answer was that, we, Americans, like to violate law if it is not fraught with punishment. What i mean is that many expats come to Russia thinking of their civilized background but behave in a shameful imperial manner being boastful of their civilized country and their civilized mentality. Bosh. You are as anybody else. If you come to a country, be respectful to its people and style of life and stop saying that Russia is not civilized. I am doing my best to be within diplomatic terms, though i can tell you that your wording about who is civilized and who is not look very provocative and insulting. In the so called uncivilized Russia, as a man to a man, for such words they used to beat a face of the insulting party!!! But we are civilized that is why you are lucky to have your face spared and intact!!! With no respect, Sergey, An uncivilized Russian _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Misha (Hotmail) Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 7:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Expat List Re: Expat Digest, Vol 52, Issue 26 Rudy. Small disclaimer: I am not an attorney, but piggybacking is a theft. Yes, it believe it was a general statement. There is no worldwide law that clarifies that is legal or what is legal and what is not. But in civilized world (which is not Russia) there are federal and local laws that define unauthorized use of computer network as crime. for example in the usa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_Piggybacking Advocates compare the practice to: * Sitting behind another passenger on a train and reading their newspaper over their shoulder. * Enjoying the music a neighbor is playing in their backyard. * Using a drinking fountain. * Sitting in a chair put in a public place. * Reading from the light of a porch light or streetlamp. * Eating another's leftovers abandoned at a restaurant. Opponents to compare the practice to: * Entering a home just because the door is unlocked * Hanging on the outside of a bus to obtain a free ride. * Connecting one's own wire to a neighbor's house to obtain free cable tv service when the neighbor is a subscriber. - Misha From: Rudy <mailto:[email protected]> Rohde Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 1:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Expat List Re: Expat Digest, Vol 52, Issue 26 Based on what this *is* a criminal offense?
