kudos:1 | Why is it a crime? I really dont understand why that its a crime. If you do not want people connecting to your access point why not put WEP encryption on it? I mean thats what encryption is for isnt it? I mean, when i drive around and am looking for open access points i figure that the people did not put encryption on their device because they wanna share it. I just dont really understand how thats a crime.

I just dont really understand how thats a crime. Basically, I shoudn't HAVE to do anything to prevent people from accessing my network. Unless I state to you that it's OK, you should not connect.
I shouldn't have to leave notes on everything I own saying "don't take me" just because those things are easily accessable.
Really, the rule should be that unless the AP's name is "FREE WIFI" or "FREE ACCESS" or something explicit like that, you should stay off.

Dude, did you not read all of these posts? Did you not read that some people actually want to leave their AP's open? Did you not read that there are public places like the library that offer free WIFI? How the fuck am I supposed to know who the AP belongs to, where it is located, or let alone if I am allowed access to it? I am not a fucking mind reader and I am not that stupid to know that there are PLENTY of free WIFI connections near my, how am I to assume which APs are public and which ones are not?
Give it a rest already. |
