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

1)    Leaving it unsecured is like leaving your doors open, you do not 
except random people to come.
2)    Giving out DHCP requests is just the same as inviting them in (DHCP 
Client> “Dear DHCP server, may I have access to your network?”  DHCP Server> I 
have no restrictions, so of course you can!  Here take these keys and do what 
you need to”)
3)    Using someone’s internet is not like taking property, it is more like 
walking in and using their phone…  Correspondingly doing illegal things on 
their internet connection is the same as using their phone to call you bookie, 
plan a drug deal, phone your hitman, or just phreaking the phone network, etc.
