I don't need to ask either, its implied because it is in my yard. If his wireless signal penetrates my walls and enters into my home, I don't get free internet access? He has the ability, nay, the responsibility to lock it down with a password, but if he chooses not to, isn't he, in reality, sharing his internet access with his neighbors? "Ignorance is no excuse" works both ways, and as an acting network access provider, he is legally responsible for what happens on his wire, not me. - Dorkilicous Fri, 23 Apr 2010 11:53:00 +0100 http://marsbox.com/blog/reviews/can-accessing-an-open-wifi-network-land-you-in-jail/#comment-62 Seriously!? How hard is it to simply "password protect" your own wireless network?? If you're too stupid to do this, then you don't deserve to press charges against someone who happens upon it!! >:-| Grrr! Great article! - Tonz Sat, 28 Jun 2008 11:53:25 +0100
