"three years in jail and fines of up to $S10,000."

That's crazy, first time i've heard a neigbour being owned.

I wonder if someone brought a laptop got it home and then the neighbour had their wireless internet up, and the laptop connected automatically what would happen. for example if the person is dumb and thought the laptop came with free internet. I wonder if they'd be slapped.

options suck.

meanwhile, I'm with grant on this one, that many people mis-understand the advertisement of "wireless internet" and just assume it will be available wherever they go, because the laptop has wireless.

and lets face it, if the person next door didn't secure the access point, its there own fault, IMO its immoral to take that which is not yours, and using an internet connection in this manner is definitely one of those points, but i think it really should come down to if the kid actively went about gaining access, or if he just turned his computer on and it connected.

I must truly wonder if the kid actually did any harm at all as well, the worst he could have done is rack up a nasty bill, its entirely probably that he just fired up some Star Craft and WoW.
