Yes, you absolutely can be liable if your contributory negligence enables someone to commit a crime or get hurt. This is decades or centuries old law.

- josho 10y agoIt genuinely saddens me that providing an open Wifi guest network for my guest's convenience is considered 'negligence'. Interestingly where I leave a major Canadian ISP provides unsecured wifi networks across the city. To get access all you need to do is register your ethernet address to your account. As we know it is trivial to spoof an ethernet address. So, I suppose this ISP could be liable as well? Oh, wait--they are just the pipe. So, why is the consumer treated different? Sigh.
