if you connect to someone else's wireless web can they get into your computer or find out any of your information?

by not sharing them.
i believe there aren't really laws covering this... it's more of connecting to someone else's network with malicious intent is illegal. you can always claim you thought that was your network. |

I believe the law is that you can access an unprotected network as long as you don't do anything that constitutes breaking in (cracking WEP keys and such). I'm not exactly sure on that though. |

I'm not exactly sure on that though. There has been at least one case of a man prosecuted for using someone else's unsecured wireless network. I think the prosecutor argued that he was "stealing bandwidth" or something of that nature. You might be able to find the case on Slashdot if you look around enough--it was fairly recent (within the past twelve months). |
