[LBo] Wi Fi question

[Tor Erling Opsahl]

It really depend on where you live. If you're in the US it's illegal, here
in Norway it's legal. As long as you don't access their files I don't feel
that there's something wrong with it, just don't clog their whole network,
surfing and reading mail feels OK downloading, bittorrenting is a nodo ;)
That's my point of wiev ;)
