I noticed article cited Rick Farina. Isn't he a WPLUG member? 

"Godwin said it's not illegal to utilize another person's wireless connection,"

 Is this true? If so why isn't illegal to utilize another person's
cable or DSL or satellite network connection?

"Farina could easily access all of their e-mail traffic, user names,
passwords and critical company information within minutes. When he
informed the firm, the IT manager said he wasn't concerned."

LOL!
