I was reading an article and this guy parked his truck outside of a coffee shop that had free wi fi. He was using it without buying a coffee, and he got arrested for "Theft of service".
I think this is the most retarded thing ever. That's like getting arrested for being in love or being under the same lamp as another person. People are fucking stupid.

Well it's just charging for the signal. I don't like shit like that, one step closer to charging for air to breathe.

I think if you can't secure your wifi, you shouldn't call the cops to arrest the person. That's silly.
If someone broke into my apartment, plugged a lan line directly into my router without permission, and then dragged the chord downstairs, I would see the violations.
But to milk free internet from a place that has an unprotected signal is barely a credible legal argument in my opinion.

If someone is using your connection for something that will defame you or harm you in someway, I would get someone to give them the boot, but if the guy is checking hotmail or something... come on.

My POV entirely. I can also understand if you are using someone else's connection all the time and on P2P and DLing so much that they go over their bandwidth limit and incur charges. I doubt this bloke was using his van parked there as his 'regular' internet connection.

in that case people who don't order anything and just sit there with their friends should be arrested as well.

Indeed. And what about the guy who hangs around for 1 hour after he has finished his coffee?

yea thats pretty stupid, i wonder how'd they treat someone who has an iphone/ipod touch standing outside their establishment, oh wait they'd probably be drinking the $9 cup of coffee.
