The article is misleading. The original finnish piece of news says the _use_ of unsecured wireless networks is going to be legalized. Having an unsecured home network has never been illegal.

The legislators are justifying the legalization with the relatively small harm caused by the 'lending', ease of securing the network and the difficulty of figuring out what is actgually meant to be public and what is not.
