If the access is being provided accidentally or even against the wishes of the provider (e.g. by someone hacking WEP), there's no grounds in the first place.

J D McDorce Premium join:2001-12-29 Westland, MI	17 USC 512(a) only refers to Copyright Infringement and is certainly not a Get Out of Jail Free Card for those providing (intentionally or not) wireless access.

doppler join:2003-03-31 Blue Point, NY	reply to russotto Personal responsibility. I am a member of the NRA. I will not leave a loaded gun laying around for anybody to use. I use a wireless connection. IT'S SECURE. I can't get my boss to realize how bad it is to leave an open connection via wireless. Things that could happen because of an unsecured connection. 1. Lawsuit from RIAA/MPAA etc etc because someone was out front of the business protesting RIAA tactics. "Gee, your honour. I didn't know about those 10,000 illegal music files offered on my T1". 2. FBI/Local enforcement sting for child porn. "Gee, your honour. I didn't know about those 1,000,000 illegal child porn files offered on my T1". 3. Getting blacklisted from every spam block list. "Gee, I didn't know about those billions of spam messages being passed through my T1". Even if there is no legal standpoint. There is a point where you must take responsibility.
