Re: Open WiFi

And by doing so you open yourself to a lawsuit. Regardless if you agree with it or not, you are not exempt from these lawsuits. you just admitted you opened your self up to them. What would you do if you had X person off the street come in and download child porn or commit another crime on your HSI account. Do you think the cops are going to forgive you for giving your customers access to the 'net? HELL NO! they're going to come after you! You should secure it and use a guest account for your customers.

I just read an article posted by Karl that said the court threw out cases about this.

Even so, why would you take any chances? Secure your wifi

Why? Nobody cares except copyright trolls.

I've set legal precedent in a test case for some business licensing issues in Philadelphia and won. I've also been a lead plaintiff in 2 class action suits that made some lawyers rich. I don't back down easily. It comes with age and wisdom.

I hope that clears this up.

The only reason that I secure my wifi is that I don't want anybody using the bandwidth that I pay for. But I do allow friends and family to use it.
