Stealing Wi-Fi

CNN Money has an interesting article on Wi-Fi theft.

I think people have to take an active role in protecting their own signals. I've had wireless internet for quite a few months now, and one of the first things I did was encrypt the signal so others would not be able to steal it.

I think taking wi-fi from others is a bad idea, but there has got to be some responsibility on the part of the network owner. Adding security is painless - much more painless than having someone steal the signal you're spending good money to get.
