Misuse Act? Yes, I fully understand it. I
have a vague impression of it. No,
I have never heard of it. “A Singapore teen has became the first in the
city-state to be sentenced for piggybacking on someone else's wireless Internet connection. Empty Garyl Tan Jia Luo, 17, could have been sentenced to jail but District
Judge Bala Reddy said the youth would instead serve 18 months' probation -- including a stint in a boys' home -- unless
he was called up for compulsory military national service. Empty Tan earlier pleaded guilty to the charge under the Computer Misuse Act which says anyone convicted
of securing access without authority to a computer for the purpose of obtaining computer services is liable to up to three
years in jail, a 10,000 dollar (6,490 US) fine, or both.” Empty Source: http://sg.news.yahoo.com/070116/1/4603t.html Empty 5. Do you think that Garyl Tan’s
sentencing was fair? Yes, he deserved it No,
it was too harsh 6. Would you report to the
authorities if you discover that someone is piggybacking on your wireless network? Yes No 7. In your opinion, what
punishment(s) do you think piggybacking or wardriving warrant? Jail Probation Fine Community
Service Others (please specify) 8. ‘Piggybacking on
someone else’s wireless Internet connection is always wrong, regardless of what he uses it for (example: checking of
emails, chatting or posting bomb hoaxes and spam)’. Do you agree with this statement? Yes No 9. Would you sign up for Wireless@SG
Programme (a free wireless broadband network deployed in Singapore which users can enjoy free, both in-door and outdoor seamless
wireless broadband access at most public areas) instead of piggybacking on someone else’s wireless Internet connection
when the need arises? Yes, Wireless@SG Programme is a good alternative. No,
I will still choose to piggyback.
