Re: The owner of the "Unsecured" WiFi should be arrested

And I would say that if a person wants to use technology then they should either know how to set it up or hire someone that knows.

The fact that a SSID is being broadcast is not the problem. If you do not password protect it then it is open for anyone to use.

If my neighbor is transmitting the signal into my house and the router is allowing me to get an IP address then I should be able to. However when I ask for permission and it says no, then I cannot. If the neighbor is breaking his ISPs TOS by sharing his connection then he should be responsible for the consequences.
