Problem is that a clueless 1st time buyer can buy a brand new laptop with wireless built in, turn it on, open explorer and be online. They wouldnt know how or why, so I wouldnt want to lock them up.
Actively seeking out and breaking encryptions etc., absolutely. But clueless people, nah.

things do get tricky when you have public hotspots setup
ppl get used to the idea of hotspots that they are free to use , then you have your next door neighbour that gets that shiny new access point , plugs it in
your laptop detects a wireless network you start thing great a hotspot in my area
I dont think there's anything wrong with it... I leave my wireless unlocked so people can use it if they want. Just like when im travelling I appretiate it when others leave their routers open for me.
People need to trust each other a little more and be a little more friendly
It's illegal to gain unauthorized access to a private server... if the wireless network is open it wouldn't be considered a private. If you hack someones protected server or network then thats a different story.

Thats a damn good point. If you come over and park your lawn mower in my drive with a full tank of gas, I am gonna mow my lawn.
When I'm at school and living in an apartment where EVERY unit has wireless.. some signals are stronger than others, so my wireless just connects to them.
We had a guy move in next door a while back, and he saw that we had an antenna on the roof. the antenna is for our connection it is using an FM signal. Anyway, he accused my husband of stealing the neighbors connection. My husband told him he was out of his mind, and left it at that. A few months later we come home at night, and the guy is standing in his side yeard as close to our house as he can get, and he has a tablet pc in his hands. Well up to that point, we had not wep enabled our router because there was no need. Well the hubby went upstairs, and set the wep. The guy next door started screaming and yelling that we were stealing HIS connection. It was amazing.

If people are stupid enough not to secure their wifi router...who am I to educate them?

I'm with you on that. I keep my wireless open for the express purpose of allowing folks to share it.
