I cant disagree more. If you were concerned with that, then you should put a password on your wifi. Problem solved. If it is freely accessible, then that is the fault of the person that set it up.
Anyone can log in to their wireless router and configure a password. If you can connect your computer to your router, then there is no reason you cannot put a password on said router too.

Re: So, Sat. TV is free to anyone who can decode it?
The answer is because that _sat signal_ is encrypted. You have to crack that code.
When you connect to _open wifi_ it is not encrypted... therefor nothing to crack
Re: Re:
Its a simple procedure to shell in to your own network at home so all of your traffic on an 'open' wifi connection is encrypted.
If people are using the internet, they should take the time to learn how it works.
It shouldnt be illegal based off of peoples ignorance or stupidity
