in the 1st place. Sharing connections so they become nodes in a wireless connection, gives oneself plausible deniability in regards what one downloads. Well anyway, to the same extent one has by running a web cafe from one's own connection.
You know Wifi was originally designed so everyone was covered by overlapping free/open Wifi, giving everyone covered "multithreaded" internet connections & thus maximum bandwidth via all this parallelism between one's wifi modem & the internet. Of course it's an honour system in regards users adding to this Wifi web / contributing to it by having their own connection at home open to others & thus becoming another node.
