More weirdness from Alaska, reported by boingboing. This time, someone was using a free wireless network provided by a library from his car, which got the laptop confiscated, and the man charged with theft of services. There's also a few links about other recent stories of misinformed authorities. Additionally, CNET has an article about WiFi Mooching and the Law, which does a good job of explaining about how the related (yet unrelated) laws work: YMMV.
