How do you feel about sharing your wi-fi?

I'm very much against sharing my WiFi access point with anybody. Although my internal network is shielded as well, i see it as a dangerous action.

Using my WiFi access point allows other people to do things on the internet that could be annoying, rude or even illegal, using my line. When tracking down the "guilty one", they will end up with my IP-adress, and combined with the ISP's data, it is even put on my name. From that point on, i have to prove that somebody has hacked my access point, and that that person has done those things.

IMHO, So it is not a good idea to share it.

If we are talking about people that I have invited into my home, I would trust these people. As long as they asked beforehand, I see no issue.
