Is accessing somebody's open WIFI stealing?

For over a month at our last house we were "stealing" the next door neighbours wifi connection. I don't feel bad about it because it was an honest mistake. For the longest time we had a hard connection from the modem to the computer. When we got our brand new fandabidosi Dell laptop, I set up the wifi connection. Unfortunately, I didn't realise that I was connecting to the neighbours modem. Thanks Vince. It was only when I went to see our internet benefactor, who lives two doors down and who works for Internode, our provider, that I realised what was going on, when our modem seemed to be working, but our connection was lost. Turns out our neighbour was on holiday. Easily fixed.

Peter Black through Ars Technica takes a look at the ethics of freeloading on open wifi connections and concludes that if people don't secure their connections then it should be their loss. Apparently it is illegal in some parts of the world to do this. As things move forward there is likely to be open wifi everywhere. Australia is really lame in this department and is years behind the UK and the USA. Come on Mr Conroy and Mr Rudd get cracking. We need more places where we can steal wifi.
