The "2 house" analogy fails because houses are not by defintion "public".

It's more like you seting up a video camera to show your private corporation's goings ons to a Big screen TV sitting outside your building on a public sidewalk... Don't complain about other people's ability to see you when you leave yourself wide open, protect yourself.

From my side, I either choose to look at it or not.... but there is little you can say or do about it. Move the TV (if iy is yours to move), scramble the signal or stop sending the a signal feed. Just changing the channel you are sending to the TV isn't good enough. I can always channel surf till I tune back in to your program. Calling the cops because i'm standing on a public sidewalk looking at your TV showing us private corporate secrets is also stupid.

stumbling... (due to the nature of beast) is like walking into a public building.... No you may not do "anything" you want and you must leave when asked. But if you are there and the bathroom is available, then you are free to make use of it. As long as it is not locked or marked as private. You are also free to look around as long as your actions don't cause harm.

Stumbling is niether breaking in nor is it treapassing. I don't see netstubling any less legal than RF scanning. Cracking WEP security and then lanjaking.... now that is certainly ilegal.

I also think the CB radio/wireless telephone/cell phone analogy also works.

I feel sorry for individules and companies that resort to pushing for legal protection rather then make proper use of technology. It serves any idoit right to use WLAN technology and broadcast their most private secrets just to find out everyone knows them because their on the news.

The media make it look like a crime and that is why most everyone see it as that. The crime that is being commited is truth and logic are being legally redefined as more and more idiots make use of dangerous (network) technology.
