Jailtime for tapping into a wireless Internet signal eh?

I hacked my ISP years ago and created numerous accounts. This was in the days of dialup. Upon being caught finally, I was *gasp* kicked off the ISP. Big effin deal.

I pick up unprotected wireless lans all the time on my laptop in a few industrial parks clients are in. Is it stealing if I boot up the laptop and am on the internet without doing anything? Don't think so.

I've even approached one office and told them it was unprotected and they did nothing.

YES, IT IS STEALING.

Judging from your lack of morality, it sounds like your "clients" are either in the prostitution, gambling, pornography, or drug trade. Your IP has been logged. Get ready for some hard jail time, sucker. Don't drop the soap...

Hey, prostitutes and gamblers are people too...

Heh, heh. Unprotected = free. Funny thing is the one I tried to warn was a lending institution...
