An encrypted network would indeed make it easier to establish "unlawful entry to computer material" (in the sense of the Israeli computer law). But whether an unencrypted wireless network constitutes an "invitation", looks rather unclear, legally; are there any precedents?

Of course, the above is moot in Shachar's case since he was going to use OpenVPN encryption and access controls regardless of WEP.
