steal this connection

    the sign i have outside the house. use as you please with attribution (cc-by). if you are stenciling it or using it in some medium where attribution is difficult, it's okay to omit it --- then just tell folks where you found it if asked.

    steal this wifi connection.

      Please, steal away and do what you wish with it! When I find where I put the original vector image, I'll link it to make for better signs.

      The sign was originally made for a student cooperative, however I now live in an apartment and must run the public wifi off of a separate router --- that way I can have a little home network privacy and still have some bandwidth! It used to be all one but things got a little out of hand.

      The FON router does something similar and is another great way to share.

      maybe you should change from steal to take, and from all rights reserved to creative commons...

      Still nice sign

      While I think it's great that your spreading the wealth by making your wifi available to anyone in the area I don't think it's such a good idea to be advertising the fact in the way that you are. Jnthnlane made the analogy to a burglar stealing your knife and using it in an assault and your being charged as an accessory, while this analogy is part right it neglects to include your leaving your door open with a sign that says free knives no questions asked. If I were you, and I know this is possible, I'd set up two protocols one private and open the other public and restricted that way people can check their email surf the internet but not visit the Jihadis Annonymous website that's sure to get the FBI's attention real fast.
