From the article: "Accessing someone's computer system without their permission, under Indiana law, is trespassing."
NOTHING about internet access!
ALOT of Public Libraries are offering *FREE* Wi-Fi to anyone within range. No laws are being broken!
ANY shop, Library, whatever that is offering Wi-Fi to it's customers/public had better have *THEIR* systems locked down like Fort Knox! The free access is to the internet, not systems connected to the network. If you(me/them)break into another system connected to the free access that is being offered, THAT is against the law.
Here, in the S.F. Bay Area, there is alot of Wi-Fi being offered for free(some you have to purchase from the shop, then it's free). I use it from several places from time to time. NOT ILLEGAL!!!
My laptop is locked down so bad, I'm surprised I can even get out...  *I* am safe while using these FREE offerings.
People need to get educated, MANY Public Libraries *ARE* offering free access to ANYONE within range.
Here's some reading that is interesting... »www.wififreespot.com/ and most of Downtown Long Beach... »www.longbeachportals.com/wireles···t_us.htm .
I'm pretty sure, if you look, there is FREE offerings near you too. NOT jacking someone's un secured AP, an actual FREE offering. Accessing someone's AP/wireless network, without permission, *IS* illegal! Breaking into their system(s) *IS* illegal!
Free=Good, Wi-Fi=Good...FREE Wi-Fi=AWESOME!
