[Avodah] Psak she'ein hatzibbur yecholin laamod bo

Its been  a while since I looked at lifnei iver, but if this is simply 
an old halacha, than wouldn't the rules of lifnei iver apply? For 
example, if you lived near someone or  who has an unsecured wireless 
modem broadcasting (assuming that it is OK to use someone's account) or 
you live near an Internet hot spot, than according to some opinions 
there wouldn't be any issue of lifnei iver (yes?).
