At the risk of making myself look paranoid:
My cable modem has a "Standby" button, which severs the connection between the modem and my wireless router while maintaining the connection between the modem and my ISP.
I have gotten into the habit of pressing the Standby button at night, so that no one will be able to use my internet connection while I'm sleeping. (I also shut down my computer.) In the morning I reconnect my router to the internet.
Is this a justifiable course of action? I wouldn't want someone to think "Let's download a pirated movie while he's sleeping."
Thanks for your candid advice.
