A 21 year old gamer in Palmer, Alaska had his laptop confiscated and faces possible criminal charges for illegally accessing WiFi at the Palmer, Alaska library after hours from the parking lot.
Some observers online point out that the library could easily thwart such violations of their usage policies by disabling the signal as part of the library’s closing procedures while others suggest that this user has a history of piggybacking on the WiFi of other businesses and organizations and this unauthorized access shouldn’t be allowed.
