I'm really surprised that there isn't already a ready solution for this. Maybe there is and it just got buried under bad marketing or something. Almost seems like a no brainer, but then again there's the whole "It seems obvious in retrospect thing." Maybe someone will jump in and outdo Amazon at this particular task. China?

The hack here is as much sniffing the GratARP as it is piggybacking on the subsidized hardware without buying the (high margin) goods which were meant to defray the cost of the device. I shudder to think how this "ingenuity" could be prosecuted under CFAA...

  Even if it was, simply hooking them up to a wifi network without an internet connection is functionally identical. Given that isn't something you can be prosecuted for, I don't see why you could convince a jury this was.

    IANAL, but... It seems possible that Amazon could set up ToS for purchase of this that would make doing this actionable.

      If you abused 10 of these units, it still wouldn't be worth one hour of lawyer's time.
