My home wifi network bears the proud SSID 'please help yourself'. If you want to park outside and download mail, surf porn or hack the security services, be my guest.

Do the people who charge for wifi --- like McDonalds --- somehow have a different legal standing if you 'misuse' their equipment because you have paid for the privilege of doing so?

I'm looking forward to being sued by someone who couldn't be bothered to secure their network and got attacked through my router. I could use the publicity. And the grins.
