it’s a new law, sir; ‘theft of signal. ’

Quote from Akma's blog:

A few minutes ago, a police officer passed the bench where I was sitting 
outside the [edit: Nantucket] Athenaeum, enjoying the mild temperature and 
the wifi signal, and he said, "Sir, you can't use the Internet outside the 
library."
I said, "What?" (I'm pretty clever under pressure.)
The officer in question (whose conduct was entirely professional, firm, and 
calm behind those mirrored shades) solemnly assured me that in order to use 
the library's open wireless signal, I had to be seated within the library. 
The officer then wandered on back to the nearby police station.
