After discovering an open wireless net available from his sofa, Steven
|
|
"Hackers" Levy interviewed lawmen, academics and WiFi activists about the
|
|
legality and ethics of using open wireless access points.
|
|
|
|
I downloaded my mail and checked media news on the Web. When I confessed
|
|
this to FBI agent Bill Shore, he spared the handcuffs. "The FBI wouldn't
|
|
waste resources on that," he sniffed. Now I know that if it did, it would
|
|
be hard to argue that I broke a law. What's more, I certainly didn't feel
|
|
illegal. Because—and this is the point of all that war-driving and
|
|
-chalking and node-stumbling—when you get used to wireless, the experience
|
|
feels more and more like a God-given right. One day we may breathe
|
|
bandwidth like oxygen—and arguing its illegality will be unthinkable.
