Florida v. Benjamin Smith III (felony conviction)
Illinois v. David Kauchak (Fine, 1yr probation)
Michigan vs Samual Peterson
Note that all of the above were for *open* WiFi networks.
If anyone can forward a specific law that says one cannot use a WiFi for your own personal use (and I sure there are some) can you please post it.
See above. Seriously, it's not even a difficult Google. How far most laws go is still not determined, but it's probably not going to be fun being a test case (there are folks trying to wind up trespass to chattels cases here and there, but the exceeding authorization thing seems to be the catch-all that most folks use. I've been involved in one federal exceeding authorization case, but it wasn't WiFi and exceeding access was the plea deal the suspect took.)
[I'm not a lawyer, I express my personal opinion, but don't dispense legal advice, and my personal opinion is that anyone stealing WiFi is a moron just waiting for someone to find an excuse to charge you with something.]
