Hi

The way i see it is that if people are not securing the Wifi connection then they are stupid and giving you permision to use it, The Security warnings come with the router and tells you how to set it up

When i installed a Wifi router i left it open so people could use it if they wanted to

Not a great idea, if someone downloads porn or worse on your open connection you will be held responsible
