WoW Got Him Arrested

Did you know that some libraries offer a free Wi-Fi connection? You didn't? Well actually if you knew all the details about a library's services you'd be a nerd in your friends' eyes. But that didn't seem to stop 21-year-old Brian Tanner from Palmer, Alaska who found a way to play World of Warcraft online for free, using the local library's Wi-Fi connection, after the library was closed.

Cops patrolling that day seized him immediately and confiscated his laptop. Apparently there are very serious rules concerning the usage of the library's Wi-Fi connection and our guy wasn't keeping track of them or wasn't aware of them. The truth is he was doing something illegal: he was playing WoW in the library's only room that provided a Wi-Fi connection, after hours and with no justifying of his act, so there's no questioning that Tanner had no place there but come on now...Why do they equip a library with a Wi-Fi connection if there are so many restrictions to using it?

And if the access to that connection is indeed restricted after hours, why the hell do they still keep it up and going? This is a pretty fortunate case actually as many people have found themselves in unpleasant situations because of this MMORPG called World of Warcraft. It seems that people can easily get hooked on playing Blizzard's game and some even end up neglecting their most important daily activities, like taking care of the little ones or spending time with the spouse. You remember the case with the dead infant because his parents forgot to feed him, don't you? Tanner's case is a walk in the park compared to that.
