The Phenomenon of Locked Wireless Networks

As a student who lives away from home getting access to the internet can be a problem at times. When this problem comes I can usually connect to one of my neighbours', but it seems like more and more people tend to lock their networks. This I can not understand, in Denmark the only way of escaping their IPRED law is by having open networks.

Now to my problem, and probably many more's, I don't feel like downlaoding through my own internet so I connect to my neighbour's, but is seems like he has figured out that someone (me) is using his internet. The result is that he closed his connection, and I'm sitting here with half movies(!?) who wants that? Not me, so I say;
- Open internet access for everyone!!

I hope you (my neighbour) reads this and do as I want!


Puh, now that my anger is gone I'll continue. When I look at how many wireless networks that are in the area I see about twenty, how many can I get access to the internet through? None is the answer; everybody has a password that has to be beaten before access is granted. These people might think that they are safer from the IPRED law if they close their connections, but this is not the right way to get past this problem, an open network is the way to go!
Let's say the police comes to you and says: "Someone has been downloading/uploading from this internet connection", if you have a closed network the options of who did it isn't that big, on the other hand, if you have an open network it is very easy and credible to say that some unknown person has been doing illegal via my internet and then add a face of big astonishment.

That was all for know!

Have a great day!
