But one day somebody is going to really test that "theft of service" claim in court and see if it gets shot all full of holes.
It is being tested in court right now; there have been a couple recent news items about people getting both arrested and sentenced for "theft of service" because they were leaching.

And lets face it, there are lots of people that leave hotspots open on purpose and you can't really tell the difference. In court that constitutes reasonable doubt and the case is thrown out. Hence its not really illegal.
I believe the law (in the U.S.) says that unless you are invited in, you should stay out so yes, it is really easy to tell the difference; I seriously doubt any court/jury would buy the "I couldn't tell the difference" argument.

No, No, I mean a real challege with somebody with the finances to really work the legal process. All there is now are people with cheap attorneys only interested in coping pleas. That doesn't mean the law holds up. Bad law interpretations run over stupid people all the time until a smart wealthy person comes along and uncovers the stupidity of the prosecutors claims.
