Re: Finnish Court Rules Open WiFi Network Owner not Liable
It seems to me that the "copyright lawyer businesses" can't keep up with the technical developments.
The two biggest internet providers here, are offering "hotspot's" for their customers, that want to use WiFi, when they are mobile. The coverage is good in populated areas, where they provide these "hotspots".
To have better coverage, the idea is, to make the home WiFi's (connected to the broadband cable) accessible to all the customers of that provider, when passing your neighbourhood.
One can refuse third party access to his/her WiFi home network, but the consequence is that you can't connect via someone elses WiFi network, while mobile.
We are talking about "Layer 1" connections but a passing or parking person can download illegal content via someone elses WiFi home network.
How will the "copyright lawyer businesses" deal with that?
