plasticbugs.com— WarTuning: Wardrive using your WiFi enabled laptop to listen to (download?) other people’s shared music through iTunes.

I know people who do this in college, except without the wifi part. Seems alot of college students (with money) buy music from iTunes, then alot of computer literate people install iTunes and use the network as a distrubeted music box. So the trick is, go WarTuning on a college campus that has poor wifi security and a population of at least 6000. ;)
Yes or no depending. iTunes allows others to listen to collections purchased through iTunes, but keeping a local copy would be agaist the TOS as I understand things. So if you just listening in, and your not breaking into the wifi connection then this should be legal. Although it's sketchy getting into any wifi system w/o express permission.
