Default Wireless Hijacker Dealt First UK Punishment

The BBC is reporting on a recent UK court case whereby a man was fined £500, sentenced to 12 months' conditional discharge and had his laptop confiscated for browsing the 'net on his neighbour's wireless Internet conenction. Perhaps I should secure my neighbour's wireless connection for him before Windows automagically connects to it and gets me arrested!

The escalating confrontations between the champions of public safety and civil rights prevent us from seeing numerous middle of the road public policies whose merits any reasonable person would recognize in a heartbeat. For weeks now both the Administration and its critics have been conducting themselves as if they were in one of our courts of law. Here it is assumed that out of extreme advocacy by both sides, justice and truth will arise.
