This has probably been discussed elsewhere, but I was pondering it today and thought i’d bring it up here. Are there legal ramifications to providing a wireless access point to one’s neighborhood? Several coffee shops do this as a matter of business. However, what if someone is downloading nasty stuff, or conducting other illegal activities? Does the blame fall to the owner of the access point if there is an investigation? Does the ISP mind people doing this sort of thing? I imagine they would due to loss of potential income.
