I don't see how this would hurt anything. The story is based off of
someone who accessed a network for paying customers at a coffee shop,
without buying any coffee. The networks we're setting up are explicitly
free and open to everyone, therefore a law like this would have no
effect. (At least, the networks that CHAOS:706 setup were explicitly open.)

It wouldn't matter, I'm sure the law is the same everywhere -
unauthorized access to a computer network is an intrusion just as if
you'd trespassed in someone's house, if not worse. But like I said, the
whole thing is based off prior permission, and all the community wifi
projects I know of have explicit prior permission for everyone to use
the service. Unless I've missed something.
However, I would be interested to know if the coffee shop is all that
concerned about the guy who was using their wireless. That's not really
mentioned, and they probably don't even care. It's pretty obvious that
the cops didn't want to have wasted their time coming out, so they
literally spent just as much time looking up whatever they could drum
the guy up on. Typical gestapo.
