Re: OT: Man Charged With Stealing Wi-Fi Signal - Yahoo! News

Gotta love stupid American laws.

If you have a wi-fi network and you can't be bothered to put even a
small modicum of protection on it you deserve to have your bandwidth
used by all comers, period. I regularly tap into unsecure WAPs with my
PDA when I'm out and about. They're everywhere. So now I can be
arrested for checking movie times or getting mapped directions, huh?
Good to know.
