    A Michigan man faces 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine for accessing a wi-fi network without permission.

    Each day he drove to a coffee shop parking lot and piggy backed on their wi-fi to check his email. What he did is a felony in many jurisdictions. If he would have gone inside and purchased something, his wi-fi access would have been free and legal.

    The video story is on CNN.com - Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News but will cycle out very soon.
