Steal wireless connection?

AKMA writes a must-read post about the police preventing him from using the public library’s free wifi while sitting outside the library:

I closed the computer in order not to constitute a threat to established order, but engaged this peace officer in a discussion of the complexities of the topic. “I did notice several other open signals in the area – am I allowed to connect to them?”

“Maybe if you had permission it would be all right, but it’s a new law, sir; `theft of signal.’ It would be like if you stole someone’s cable TV connection.”

I responded, “But this is a radio signal thing – it’s not like a cable connection, it’s like someone has a porch light on and I’m sitting on the bench, reading a book by their light. I’m not stealing their light.”

Afanti shaked his money bag to the richman, “Did you hear the sound of coins?”, “Yes”, “Then paid”, haha.
