a net philanthropist are you?

If they don't want you to
use it, they simply WEP protect it,

wrong, they would use WPA or better WPA2

which is like locking your house to
keep the public from using your bathroom.

using WEP to "protect" your AP would be more like just shutting the door
to the house.

The serious hacker is going
to use your WEP-protected wifi, anyway, and that's where to draw the
line.

serious?... any 15 year old with a clue could be piggybacking his way to
Runescape or Pornworld via your "WEP-protected wifi" in very short order
indeed... yeah, the wifi that _you_ pay for, not him.
