You merely proved my point. Thank you.

Why is it that what I wrote is not understood. I am NOT saying that 
crimes done over wireless networks are not prosecutable. I am saying 
that no one has ever gotten arrested for the activities of someone 
else's accessing their wireless network. You do something illegal, 
you go to jail. Doing illegal activities should always entitle 
someone to jail. Having an open network is not illegal but should in 
fact be done so that society will more quickly have a high quality 
wireless mesh network throughout our communities. Else, we have no 
need for libraries or parks. Everyone should buy their own books and 
mow their own lawns and build their own basketball courts.
