Reg has just opened for this year's Computers, Freedom and Privacy conference (April 20-23, Berkeley CA), one of the world's oldest and most important tech-policy events (check out the program for items like this one:)
Wardriving, Wireless Networks, and the Law
Wireless networks are exploding in popularity, but are difficult to secure. Locating insecure networks & advertising their locations has become a sport known as "wardriving". We examine the Pen Register Act, the Wiretap Act, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud & Abuse Act to evaluate criminal & civil liability which may apply to wardriving.
Panelists: Steve Schroeder, CCIPS consultant; Simon Byers, AT&T; Kevin Bankston, EFF
(Thanks, Jason!)
