Most of the ones that permit you to use their links have some sort of registration screen to take your details. There are others that are just not secured and, in my opinion, if they don't batten down their portals with at least minimal security measures then they are being somewhat negligent about their own security arrangements and deserve to be used. As one who has a wireless system at home (Jason is the main user for his internet connectivity) I have made sure that the link is secured against unauthorised users. It was not particularly hard to implement the security measures.


The problem is that is that its still "illegal" Just because someone leaves their front door unlocked is NOT an valid excuse for going into their house and using their electricity, fridge, food etc. I think that the recent legal case used your argument in defence and the Judge and prosecution took the other stance.
