Re: What Is A Crime?

There's a huge difference there: Intent.

And there you have the problem - intent, or rather, the proving thereof. How can it be proven beyond reasonable doubt that someone is accessing wifi for a non-nefarious purpose? How do you know for sure that the person is benign?

Any time the law is brought into a situation, it must be able to define what is or is not legal, regardless of intent. Stealing bread to feed a family is still concerned to be stealing bread, even if it garners a lighter sentence. It needs to be determined whether or not such an activity is considered theft or not and prosecuted in that regard.
