I don't get it.

WmWifiRouter (as a product) is NOT designed to "get around PAM" - it is designed to bridge your wireless data link on your phone into a WIFI access point. So you can share the connection with

* multiple devices
* devices with wifi but without BT or USB
* devices without the need for a USB cable

It is commercial software. It's up to you to ensure you are not violating your TOS by using it.

Do you really not understand that?

Without being nasty to one another? What thread have you been reading?

Exactly. Now my $.02...........



I use the reg edit. Can we call this thread what it is? The OP posting a "legitamate question", not looking for an argument? Really? No, all the OP wants to do is argue. Tethering is like his kryptonite, I've read his posts in many a tethering thread, it is his pet peeve. He hates that fact that there's 20 threads a day on the subject, and is looking to vent, or find a reason why the mods should not allow them at all.

And yes, I agree with you that using the reg edit is stealing. Using a service and not paying for it is stealing IMO. But am I going to continue to do it. Hell yes, with a big ole smile on my face.

But crazychef, don't say you don't weren't trying to start an arguement....you've responded to almost every thread where someone disagrees with you and in many respond in a pretty degrading manner. What are you looking to get out of this thread? Is there even a f'n point to it anymore?

theres a difference between letter of the law, and spirit of the law.. the letter of the law is - warez copyrighted software is illegal to distribute without permission of the author

the spirit of the law says it is wrong to tether sprints service without adding phone as a modem to your plan

basically, there is no LETTER of US (or any country) law stating its illegal to give proof of concept knowledge on how to circumvent sprint and tether off your phone, it may be unethical, it may seem wrong, but there is nothing illegal about spreading this information

copyrighted software remains illegal, however.

there is something about ics. i am not posting things just to keep fighting. the op asked and now i am asking what the difference is. i don't care about the stealing and all that, to each his own. but i tried to hook my phone(pro) to a lappy and selected phone as modem and it didn't work.

Pilot error? Who knows. I had no trouble with it. Others don't either. But some do.

Could be anything. And I'm not fighting, just trying to answer this question. The question keeps changing every time I answer it, but I'm game.

One good thing came out of this, we all should be more diligent about mentioning that TOS disclaimer, if only to be sure folks who do start tethering w/o PAM do so with full knowledge that they may be violating their TOS. Because clearly people don't understand that.

Beyond that, it's not up to me police others. They're grownups, they can make their own choices.

I choose life!



Shall we beat this dead horse some more? I think I still see a bit of tail hair over here...
