A stupid law....

And I just finished writing to the MI legislature telling them so. http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(sz24fm45lefset55jmhr0o55))/mileg.aspx?page=CommentForm

And I wrote:

This is a dumb law and should be repealed. (http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(sz24fm45lefset55jmhr0o55))/mileg.aspx?page=getObject&objectName=mcl-752-795)

I'm referring specifically to the case involving this guy: http://blogs.zdnet.com/ip-telephony/?p=1640

If people don't want others using their wi-fi, they should learn how to secure them. This is the eqivalent of turning on a faucet on the side of a building, and that faucet flows onto the public sidewalk, and then arresting someone for stealing water.
