The Communications Act 2003 is clear with regards to the prohibition, as it establishes an offence of up to five years for dishonestly obtaining electronic communications services. Section 125 reads:

"(1) A person who-
(a) dishonestly obtains an electronic communications service, and
(b) does so with intent to avoid payment of a charge applicable to the provision of that service,
is guilty of an offence."

How was he caught ??? did someones signal reduce and they looked out the window to see someone leeching on their signal or was it a set up to give out a message that this kind of activity is illegal !!!!

To be honest the morons that left their signal open are the ones that should be jailed.
