Can I use your wireless broadband?

Can I use your unsecured, wireless broadband without getting your permission?
Apparently, the law said NO and you will be charged in Court, if you do so.

While I understand the reasons why the unauthorised user should be punished, I wish to know how careless owners of the wireless network should be able to sleep well at nights. His or her non-action at securing the network has facilitated the violation or the crime.

In certain cases, the Court may distribute the blame between the parties involved.

I am now concerned that my Wifi-enabled PDA/laptop may accidentally log into someone else's network!

Do you not have a brain and a conscience, my dear unsecured wireless network owners?
