Quick question to people in the know here.. If your computer connects to an unsecured wireless network for internet access and you use it, would that be considered illegal?
It would be easy to say, yes you are using someone that does not belong to you.. But technically the signal is out there for anyone to grab, which would make it public domain. Now let me preface this with personally I do not think it is.. It is the same as an FM frequency or any other unsecured wireless frequency getting picked up. Windows automatically configures it, so in essence if they are not securing their network they are asking for people to pick up the signal from their wireless router.
Opinions from other tech people out there?
