Being Robin Hood..

Do you recall a certain Robin Hood, who generously shared his loot thieved from the influent landowners. Well, in our new cyberworld, we can become that sort of hero very cheaply, telco's being the landowners. The whole issue is opening your personal wireless network.
There is a huge amount of anti-sharing propaganda going out everyday on all information and internet channels. Today I came accross such a movie on a so called "science channel" (http://www.discovery.com/radio/xml/sciencevideo.xml, the presenter was showing how easy it is to snoop on someone's computer. The reality behind these scaremongering films is that: If everyone of us opens their personal network, we would collectively be able to bypass mobile phone operators and telcos by having our own networks, this would mean a huge loss of profits for the small pack of these greedy hyenas of the business world and totally FREE mobile calls and internet for all the people who could afford a recent phone. So bring back the Robin Hood in you n open your network, solidarity can change the world.
As for victims of hacking, well, you're a grown up, you know if they really wanted your holiday pictures they would break the encryption easily..
