Here is the Official Stance of Tech-Forums on this matter.
If you are connecting to a Hot Spot at a store or some city that has it free, then we can try to assist you.
But if there is a unsecure WiFi network in your area that is
NOT yours we can not help you at all.
Our stance is that it is considered stealing since it is not your internet connection you are trying to steal someone else's internet. We view it as trying to hack someone else's computer. Since you technically have to connect to their router to due such a act.
From here on out this will be meet with stern and swift action.
If the connection is your we will assist you in every way we can.
Cheers,
