that's totally illegal i'll report you
it's not power your paying for so it's theft
and it tampers with lines your not necessaryily even paying for
AND MORESO it can effect telephones in the area (i hope it does so you get criminal charges when the telephone guy sees your using "green power" to charge your iPad)
