Passwordless wifi
| Yes, if they wanted to protect then they should have secured it.
| It's also legal to murder and steal if the door is unlocked.
| Yes. It's also probably legal if they take advantage of your connection to hack into your computer
| Not legal (roughly) in Michigan, Florida, and New York nothing on a federal level has been decided, probably not a good idea to "steal" wifi but your probably ok legally speaking
-not a lawyer & this is not legal advice and all that jazz
| It's illegal as much as trespassing on a private property. Which is obvious. They might get into trouble for not securing it if you use it for illegal stuff though.
| Then what if i just write on a piece of paper that there is an open wifi (wich is not mine) near and put that paper on some walls in the range? That should be legal

Yeah. But connecting to it would still be illegal. And maybe your note might be seen as a way to encourage people at "trespassing", which might then be illegal.
| I haven't found anything saying it's illegal other than what I already posted so citations please so we can all learn,
And yeah it's interesting the owner of the WiFi is sometimes sued for torrenting even if they didn't do it, that's how we get stuff like an 80 y/o man who runs a halfway house being sued for torrenting porn
| Going through Passwordless wifis is illegal? Dang, idk how many charges i coulda gotten travelling
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_piggybacking
| >Laws regarding "unauthorized access of a computer network" exist in many legal codes, though the wording and meaning differ from one to the next. However, the interpretation of terms like "access" and "authorization" is not clear, and there is no general agreement on whether piggybacking (intentional access of an open Wi-Fi network without harmful intent) falls under this classification.[1] Some jurisdictions prohibit it, some permit it, and others are not well-defined
| I've been to a couple of shops and restaurants that don't advertise free open wifi but they have it, and I use it

Either that's because they allow it, or because it's not their wifi, but the hotspot made by the nice guy next to them who harvests many passwords like that.
