find the neighbor and offer to secure their network and give them $ each month for access. You both save $...

What law? Your neighbor is beaming radio waves into your home and you think it's against the law to use them? There ain't no law against that.

Well, you're beaming radio waves right back into your neighbor's home, to alter the content of the radio waves beaming into your home.
IIRC, the law also makes it illegal even to 'intercept' radio transmissions not intended for you (or the public).

I was at a lake cottage for two weeks this summer. Luckily one neighbor had an open system that enabled me to visit this site. It would have been unbearable without MacResource Forums. Sometimes the law has to take a back seat to human need.

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew his WiFi well: a signal
of infinite strength, of most excellent fancy: he hath
borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how
abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at
it. Here passed those data packets that I have sent I know
not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your
gambols? your songs? your flashes of pRon?,
that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one
now, to mock your own MAC address? quite chap-fallen?
Now get you to my lady's laptop, and email her, let
her bitorrent the entire LOTR trilogy in HD, no less, to this
favour she must come; make her laugh at that.
