The IRS taxes income from theft, even though that income is illegitimate
Has this actually been tested in court? I know they try, but it's a principle of common law that you can't transfer a better title than you have yourself, and you have no title to something you stole.
I've had wireless internet for about six weeks now, courtesy of KeyOn, and it seems to me it's the way to go. It's as cheap as dial-up, less than half the cost of DSL, and I haven't noticed it slow down much even with four computers online at the same time. It does tend to go offline (sometimes for hours) when it rains, but maybe that's because I'm near extreme range. Fortunately it doesn't rain much in Nevada.
