Re: I like France's proposed policy I would be leery about something such as this.
Most end-users aren't intelligent enough to secure their wireless access points let alone use good passwords. I don't believe the best way to get people into the 21st century is by suing them or taking away their access. I suspect that a large number of these lawsuits with the RIAA suing old people are due to neighbors jumping on their wireless access points.
A policy such as that would be decremental towards the advancement of the internet and scare non tech savvy people away from it entirely. I'm sure the wise have already established connections and made friends in Canada to set up proxy servers for free reign downloading where it was ruled legal in their court system. |
