This message brought to you by the state of Michigan where it's also a felony to use WiFi without buying coffee. http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/05/23/1551227

Michigan state has already enacted nearly this same law. I know, because I got felony charges for it back in 2007 after petitioning digg users to help recover some expensive stolen property.

Michigan law here:
(Public Act 475 of 2000). (That Act, which will take effect on April 1, 2001, prohibits a person from posting a message through any medium of communication, including the Internet, if the person knows that posting the message could cause two or more "separate noncontinuous acts of unconsented contact with the victim"; if posting the message is intended to cause conduct that would make the victim feel frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed, or molested; if conduct arising from the posting would cause a reasonable person to suffer emotional distress and to feel frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed, or molested; or if conduct arising from the posting causes the victim to suffer emotional distress and to feel frightened, intimidated, etc. Enhanced penalties apply under certain aggravating circumstances, e.g., posting the message is in violation of a condition of probation or parole, or results in the communication of a credible threat to the victim.)
