It won't apply in Australian jurisdiction. Though I would like to see how well DMCA fares if the US ends up unable to export weapons systems due to customers going to suppliers who support their products and do not engage in strong-arm legislative programs to prevent such things.
Is the police in the UK wandering around and randomly arresting people with laptops on the streets?
In this case; pretty much. The man was apparently http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6958429. stm spotted by Community Support Officers. They were apparently on patrol and spotted him using the laptop outside the house and admitted when questioned that he was using the unsecured wireless. CSOs do not have power of arrest but are used (in theory) to patrol our green and pleasant land watching for trouble and calling in the big boys if it is anything more than a rather minor offence. The fact that he was charged at all would imply that he willingly went to the police station.
It is in the unlicensed band that was allocated by the governement of your respective country (USA's FCC, UK's OFCOM etc) that regulates the airwaves. The government has said it is OK for people to broadcast whatever they like on 2.4GHz.
