Re: OK... said by ISPvsP2P :said by silentlooker:So you say that you're okay with isp cutting people off. What do you say when a grandmother gets cut off because someone used her wireless router that was totally unlocked or was locked with wep. Linksys is the biggest free isp and will continue to be for long time. It's the owner of the wireless routers job to protect their own network. If they can't they should have someone who knows how to do it for them. Just like it's the ISP's job to take care of their own network and set the ground rules. How deep of the level or responsibility do you want people to get to in order for someone to say, "yup, you did everything right, but it's still your fault." and not be responsible? This happens more times than not. I can wardrive in my neighborhood and leech wifi all day long, spoof a mac, crack a wep in under 30 seconds and viola, I've got free wi-fi and no one is the wiser.
Oh, they found kiddie porn emanating from your IP, but you can't prove you did it or if you've been spoofed/wep hacked? To bad. Oh, hey, by the way, we also found that you've been going to torrent sites and downloading movies and music and sharing them illegally too. What a coincidence. What do you say to that Mr. Responsibility?
At some point in time, in this digital age where copies anything can be made any time and anywhere, there needs to be an acknowledgment that peoples responsibilities to perceived illegalities must end somewhere. |
