Oh no! It "deprives ISPs of revenue"! Are these the same ISPs who charge huge amounts of money for connections that rarely run anywhere near the advertised speeds? And who provide such appalling service to anyone with the temerity to move house or change provider?

I'm sorry, but if they're stupid enough to provide the great British public with automatically unsecured routers as part of their "service", then it's only to be expected that anyone with an iota of initiative will think about taking advantage.

ISPs - Don't complain about a problem you've had a hand in creating.

Users - Don't complain about people taking advantage of your naivety. You wouldn't leave your front door wide open when you're not standing in front of it, so why leave your wireless connections unsecured?
