Risks...

I have heard of people being caught for piracy and the such before. I am well aware of that.

But what about using a neighbor's open wifi to download using uTorrent. If the neighbors actually got into some legal issues with the RIAA/MPAA/whatever, what are the chances they can trace it back to my PC? My brother has a PC running almost 24/7 to download and I do it whenever possible.

Note: This isn't wardriving. It's using desktops with antennas and such to connect to their house. They are actually quite far away, through a few yards and across the street.

Re: Risks...

Oh I see. Not only are you downloading something that would get you into trouble with the RIAA if detected (i.e. almost certainly illegal) but you're stealing your neighbours bandwidth to boot.

Sorry, no help for you with that request on this forum.
