FReepers out there, I am pretty sure some of you do this, too. Next time, it could be you. Please be careful.:)

How is this illegal? It's only free if you buy something? Is that policy posted? Is the ordinance posted? This is like dumpster diving. If they throw out day old bagels and he gets them out of the dumpster, did he steal them? If they throw out a free wireless connection emitting from the building, and he uses it, how is it any different?

That is why you bite the bullet and buy the small (tall?) coffee and a scone. After that, they leave you all alone...I have been known to sit at a Starbucks for hours during a trip, just using the hotspot through that ploy.

coffee shop tired of seeing a 20-year-old man mooch off their free wireless Internet access called the police, who charged him with "theft of services."

There was a case somewhere? about a guy that would come into a cafe and order water, and eat the bottle of catsup on the table and leave. If they say it was free it was free and they had to serve him.
