Surving on open wlans is my favorite activity during holidays. I normally park my car in front of the house where I got the open wlan, checking my eMails. Next time I will have to be careful not to get arested. very funny, especially the fact that the wlan belongs to a public library. Surving on open wlans is my favorite activity during holidays.

It was the police who are interested in his computer usage. woah easy on the library comment, from the article it doesn’t seem that it was the library that took issue with him using their internet connection.

It doesn't remove the "service" from being freely available to anyone else. I assume it was the library that brought this to the police's attention initially. I hope whoever is in charge of administrating the internet connection there got into some hot water as well. Also, I’m not sure why they took his laptop.

Here in my apartment I can find several open connections. But just because something is lying around unprotected that doesn't mean I am allowed to take it. Taking a car with the keys in it is still theft. That said, it would probably not be ok to use someones home wifi connection even if unencrypted. But if a library has an unencrypted connection, I think it would be fair to assume that this is a service to the public (my library has this as a service).

"Give me a break!!!" I think soon they'll arrest all downloaders and say their hurting the movie and video game industry which i believe the sales market have soared in both.... I'm not saying it's right to pirate software and such but quite a few people try then buy cause they like the product. sales can prove this. As for the "Wifi jacking" an open signal can prove to be a "free for all". Anybody knows who runs their own wifi network that setting
