I guess if "wifi defense" becomes very common and accepted defense by the courts, it might get easier to get search warrant. Then you might get caught for more that the stuff they saw you share. Burnt DVDs, hundreds GB of data and so on. I agree that “wifi defense” isn’t only usable by people who know little about computers.

That's my perogative, surely? Until a court says; "actually, intentionally leaving your WI-FI open is negligent, and you are responsible", then that defence stands. Is it illegal to leave your car door open all day long with the keys inside? of course not I don’t agree that you can only play the wi-fi defence if you can claim ignorance to the technology

For instance, if the password is set to the default, or something easily guessed. @30 – I think the idea behind the defense is that even closed wifi is possible to hack open.

It doesn't sound logical. The only way one CAN use "wifi defence" is if they do not actually KNOW the difference between open and closed access over wi-fi. Thus if someone wins a case because they didn't actually know that difference - good for them, but it doesn't apply to you and me, because we actually know that someone might abuse the connection for "illegal" purposes (mind that I'm taking "illegal" as the current situation - which is exactly the part that we need to battle - filesharing should NOT be "illegal"). Think of "wi-fi defence" as something like you being the last to leave the office and NOT setting the alarm on. It IS your fault if someone breaks in and steals everything from said office.

yes, theft sounds better in a title but it isn’t accurately describing what is happening.
