Which reminds me of a potential tort I have against either my neighbor or my cable company. Several days ago, I noticed that the cable connection from the street was split from my house to my neighbor's house from the wall of my house. The original installer and I finally found a configuration which was perfect: the cable run from the pole at the street connected to the inside of my house using a barrel connector. This provided the maximum signal strength to the digital cable converter at the tv, and a good signal to my cable modem. Several days ago, I noticed that there is a completely unprofessional cable run from my neighbors house (about seven feet off the ground) to my house and down to where that barrel connector was. Plus, the barrel connector has been replaced by a shoddy looking splitter. This new configuration cuts my signal strength by half, as any two way splitter will do. Now I'm thinking if my neighbor did it, it's trespass to land as an intentional interference with my possessory property rights. If the cable company made this change without an easement from me or the property owner, as they would need to provide service to my neighbor using property that I possess, they would also be guilty of trespass to land, as they exceeded my express consent to enter my land for the purposes of providing me with cable service by using my property to supply others with service. I think I'm going to send them a letter in the next day or two. I'll think of something.
Two more exams to go. The next one is civil procedure. Sigh.
