“You Simply Can’t Steal WiFi…” Intresting column about the WiFi arrests..
Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!
“Like many in the tech community, I found it rather disturbing that someone could be arrested, and then charged with stealing a WiFi signal. What a complete waste of taxpayer resources. I believe (hope) that the judge who sits on the bench will throw out the case.” I agree 100%. Using WiFi is not illegal. Plus, if you leave your front door open, you asking for visitors. If you don’t take the time to secure your network, people are going to use it.
