While I disagree the law is wrong, to prosecute people for using unsecure networks, I believe the precedent was set by a court case a couple of years ago.
The analogy by the presecuting solicitor was something along the lines of

When the defendant answered 'no' (as most people would) - he sort of lost most of his defence, and was found guilty of the misuse of computers act.

And I know I'll get jumped for this but, this is exactly the same analogy to piracy, just because you can copy it doesn't mean you should nor is it any less impactful.
