Speaker 1 Summary

Gerald concludes that people who access other’s wireless internet aren’t doing anything illegal. This is because such access is just like enjoying someone else’s music as you pass by them, which isn’t illegal.

Speaker 2 Summary

Kendra’s implicit conclusion is that accessing someone else’s wireless internet can be considered illegal. This is because such access requires stopping for a long time, unlike listening to a stranger’s music while walking by. Stopping for a long time to access someone else’s wireless internet could be considered the crimes of loitering or harassment.
