I agree completlet. It's really the fault of the manufacturers for not setting the WEP protection as being on by default.
It's like selling a car that doesn't need to be locked unless you set it to.
It's also the fault of the owner of the router for not setting encryption himself.
I had the encryption turned off on my router a while back and found someone had been connecting and really slowing down my connection. I didn't blame them for it, or even try to find out who they were, I just turned WEP on and got with things.
They really do blow these things out of proportion, it's also another example of technology stories being reported by people that really don't have a clue what they're talking about.
