And if an O.J company wrote on their boxes that by buying their juice you agree to not sharing it with your friends you stick to that integrity? You bought it, it's yours, you can do what you please with it.

That's completely ridiculous. OJ is a tangible commodity - an ISP sells a service.

Following your line of logic, if you go on a toll road you can do whatever you like (speeding, crashing into cars) simply because you paid for it and you think it is yours.

Just becuase you are leasing a line does not mean you own it.
