Unsecured wide open WiFi = jail time for moochers?

Umm...I just don\'t agree with this. Anyway...we have a condo in a beachside community where several people have unsecured networks. They don\'t seem to care people piggy back. I get on their system just to order pizza. (I ain\'t there that often)

Wow pretty crazy story at the beginning.  I have the encryption turned on on my Linksys luckily, but not by Mac adress.

Such a shame these deadbeats ruin it for everyone.  It would be nice to share a wireless network wherever you are, especially when traveling.

If he hadn\'t been so freakin\' secretive....anyway, clearly there was intent on his part to get free internet.

However, if my network drops at my condo and picks up my neighbor\'s unsecured network...I shouldn\'t be fined or arrested.

Breeden recalled a case a few years ago in which e-mail containing death threats was sent to a school principal in Tallahassee. The e-mail was traced back to a home, and when investigators arrived, they found a dumbfounded family. The culprit: a neighborhood boy who had set up the family\'s Wi-Fi network and then tapped into it.

In another Florida case, a man in an apartment complex used a neighbor\'s Wi-Fi to access bank information and pay for pornography sites.

But he slipped up. The man had sex products sent to his address. "The morning we did a search warrant, we found an antenna hanging out his window so he could get a better signal from his neighbor\'s network," Breeden said.


interesting story there...

I have a wireless router and share a network with my neighbor.  I know other people use the connection too but I don\'t mind really.  I guess I could lock the network to MAC addresses... maybe i\'ll do that when I notice my internet speeds dropping.

Coming back from college my mother dropped our cable so I\'ve had to resort to unsecured networks.  Hmmm, maybe not such a hot idea, but I only run aim and surf the web on it.  

The way I figure it, if you don\'t want people on it, password protect it.  As for the moochers, have respect and don\'t do anything crazy and I don\'t see the harm.

I think they should just put wireless transmitters on all telephone polls allowing everyone a wireless connection and simply charge a monthly fee like a cell phone
