Using NAT to connect several of your own computers is one thing.
Using it to connect your neighbors and buddies is quite another. Many
ISP agreements have clauses forbidding resale, even if you don't get
anything in return.

        Getting nothing in return is not a sale.



Isn't this like going to an 'all you can eat' restaurant and giving
food to your friends?


Closer to like going to an "all you can eat" restaurant that enforces you not bringing your own booze by giving you new cups filled with coffee, then complaining that they can't keep track of the cups anymore.
