Starbreiz, I read Cory's blog and yours and I think I need a computer world morality explanation. I can't quite understand why borrowing a business's bandwidth to access my email is stealing. It doesn't hurt them, slow them down or in anyway impede their computers' connectivity, correct? Doesn't that make warchalking about the same as checking make-up in a business's shiny windows or leaning against someone's car to tie one's shoes?

I can certainly understand why this would be a problem if the warchalker were trying to steal data, but in general that's not what they're doing, correct?
