I don't care what other think or what stories they try to use to set their example to be true. In regards of who you are or where your from. It is a crime to use such network with out the permission of that network owner. Even though that network is open and not encrypted, it is not a material thing like cookies or a house or what ever you wish to compare it to. Yet if you must imagine this. Might be sick to some yet just read it, second time I have this text up here. Image a girl in a bikini out on a beach, she is lying in a lawn chair just soaking up the rays, she is more relax so her legs are spread apart, showing her love triangle. Anywow, a guy was walking the beach and sees this girl. He thinks she is advertising (Broadcasting SSID) No signs around this girl that say private (encrypted) or must have permisson to connect. So he connects, la'de'da'la, Like your poor excuse for analogy, did he commit a crime....If you say yes then the people who get onto open networks also commit a crime. (Did it without consent) Now if he had her consent then it would be ok, yet if no consent it is a crime.
