I never thought they were. But see my other post in this thread. If the
unauthorised access is known to me and is done on a regular basis I think
there might be a knock not necessarily at 4am but maybe later in the day.
Scenario: your neighbour is puzzled that his broadband performance is slow.
He gets an expert like you to come and check whether his system is working
properly. He is told "there's your problem - the people next door are using
your connection and they seem to be downloading stuff using Kazaa and
Limewire all day and all night. Do you like your neighbour? If not, let's
tell the police".
