Re: Cause more Wi-Fi theft said by Oh_No 
If the wifi is open then it is not stealing.
so by your logic, taking someone's car that doesn't have the doors locked is not stealing???
just because someone is too stupid to encrypt their wifi, doesn't excuse you from using their wifi connection without permission. |

| It's more like someone sitting on a bench you have on your front lawn. You either put it there for people to use, or you didn't intend for that to happen by have no reason for caring, or do care and will put up a fence
I have an open wifi network set up intentionally. I hate my neighbors but there is a nearby park, though I am loath to buy additional equipment to give those freeloaders a decent signal |

| sure, maybe the person was just too lazy to put a fence up but that doesn't change the fact that you would still be trespassing no matter how much the owner did or didn't care about people using their bench. |

Title 47 CFR Part 15, 'nuf said.
Using an open wifi could be categorized as "and must accept interference from other sources". |

Sorry you cant compare a car to wifi traffic.
But if you had to to accomodate lower minds then you would have to put the scenario like this:
Someone leaves their car on your property with the doors unlocked and GIVES you a key.
It definately would not be theft if you drove the car especially when you only drive it on your property only.
Your router only gives access to those that you approve, if you set your router to approve everyone then you cant complain about it later. Ignorance does not give you extra rights to pretend you did not approve people when you did.
Now if you set even the weakest security and someone circumvents that then it would be theft. |

South Bend, IN | This is a problem inherent in any capitalistic, materialistic society. It's not the car or owners fault, it's the system that makes it such an issue. |
