From: craig.soderland at sap.com (Soderland, Craig) Subject: Wi-fi. Approaching customers Now here's the .90 cent question: If ISP's are not liable for the content across them, and cannot be held liable. And you run an Open WIFI network... Aren't you in effect an ISP Albeit a free one? And if you are an ISP, then wouldn't you, not be liable for content sent across your network. ------------------------------------------------------------------ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-bounces@...ts.grok.org.uk [mailto:full-disclosure-bounces@...ts.grok.org.uk] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 4:28 PM To: full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Wi-fi.

An unsecured WiFi may have serious legal consequences. And to come back on the original topic: These legal consequences may be good arguments to convince customers that they need to get their network secured. Ciao Marcus -- Hail Eris!
