I think you may have misunderstood the article; it doesn't discuss
using other people's bandwidth without their permission, but rather,
using the bandwidth you've paid for to provide service to other people
(and, also, just letting other people use your computer, for example
by streaming data from it).  That does not seem to me to fit the name
"theft".  It's the same thing I do when I run a web site or a mailing
list on my DSL line, after all.

Several ISPs have enacted policies to stop their customers from
sharing their network access with others, but this seems reprehensible
to me.  I hope these policies become illegal.
