Wi-Fi Sharing In The UK

So apparently new UK communications laws are STRICT! A 39 year old man was arrested for picking up someone else's unsecured wireless internet signal. The article states:

The 39-year-old man could be charged under the Communications Act for dishonestly obtaining communications services. The Act says: "A person who (a) dishonestly obtains an electronic communications service, and (b) does so with intent to avoid payment of a charge applicable to the provision of that service, is guilty of an offence."
