Concern

While I agree with the sentiments about spammers expressed above, there's a detail of this - and the reported case of the "Michigan man" (Sam Peterson) who was fined for using a cafe's wi-fi while parked outside in his car.

My concern is this: In both cases, it's unclear whether the wi-fi service was free or not. If - in the case of Peterson - it was free, (he was arrested under a Michigan state law that makes "unauthorized use of a network connection" a felony) then what crime did he commit, exactly?

Thoughts?
