No Free Internet for You!
Heh.
A man in Alaska has his laptop taken by the police because he was using the local public library’s wireless Internet connection. The connection wasn’t encrypted or otherwise protected. It was being freely broadcast.
They’re considering criminal charges for “theft of service.”
It’s a good thing he didn’t go inside and try to read any books.
