No, its not.
Better analogy.
Its kind of like paying for basic cable and then going into your box and hacking it to get HBO channels as well.
You're "Paying for Cable" so why shouldn't you get all the cable for free right? Sure you have to do some hacking to bypass things becuase its a service they want you to pay for, but by god you pay for cable so you should get cable...all of Cable.
The poster above is right. Unlimited Data is unlimited data for your handset, not for use as a modem. Use as a modem is a seperate charge. There's a reason you need a HACK to be able to use it and that reason isn't because "its perfectly fine and sprint doesn't care at all". Its because you're using it to take something you're not paying for, aka the ability to use the phone as a modem.
NOW
Whether or not you care about stealing is a different matter. If you feel that the unlimited plan is a ripoff if you don't also include tethering in the mix and that somehow justifies your theft from the greedy corporation, more power to you. But you're using what's essentially a hack to get a service for free that you would legally need to pay for...that's theft.
