Um...legal?

Thanks CyberMonkey... but I am kind of confused about the whole is-it-legal-to-tether debate. My 800w came with a little brochure called "Experience SprintSpeed," in which one section is called "Phone as Modem," and it shows you how to use the Internet Sharing application, which comes pre-installed on the phone to - and I quote from the brochure - "Use your device's SprintSpeed rated data connection as a modem for your computer." Is this DIFFERENT from tethering? I thought they were the same thing. If they're the same thing, what's the problem? It seems like Sprint WANTS us to our phones (well, the 800w at the least) as modems.
