Michigan Man Fined for Using Coffee Shop's Wi-Fi Network

Topics: Internet

Fined $400 and given 40 hours of community service for accessing an open wireless Internet connection outside a coffee shop, this poor guy's a case study for requiring prosecutors and the police to have - and use - common sense.
