I think it should become legal.

If someone doesn't want a stranger using their Wi-Fi then they should use WEP or similar.

If communities decide to share their Wi-Fi then they can share the WEP code.

And if someone really doesn't mind complete strangers using their Wi-Fi then they can leave it completely open and then the person using won't be prosecuted.

All IMHO...

Cheers,
Terry.
