Honolulu, HI | Societal Value This case should set precedence for several reasons that have been previously mentioned and it is MHO that the prosecution will and must throw the proverbial book at the alleged.
Hopefully the outcome of this case will set precedence for future cases and will be constructive by creating societal awareness that is always of some value to the society as a whole especially for those that are less educated and would assume that this type of conduct is condoned by the majority.
I believe that the majority of the posts herein are made by educated persons that understand the difference between right and wrong just like the difference between Hotspots and Access Points and it is MHO that the alleged is similarly educated, that said ignorance should not be a consideration in the prosecution of this case.
Based on the facts presented so far it is my opinion that this is a act of theft by an individual that probably has committed other less than desirable acts in his lifetime.
Something that has not been mentioned previously in the post and would require answers if I was conducting a similar investigation; is where does the alleged reside? does the alleged have similar access or capability at his residence? does the alleged allow others access to his bandwidth? and why is he conducting this type of activity in the area if not to gain free access or to commit some type of questionable or undesirable activity that he could not do with his own bandwidth.
That said each of us have a responsibility to use our knowledge and expertise to educate those that are not similarly educated and do not understand the difference between a Hotspot and a Access Point on both sides of the legal system rather than try to reason or rectify the alleges actions or to pass judgement in this case.
Any way this case is looked at in the future, regardless of the outcome society will IMHO have gained from the dollars spent to prosecute the alleged.
