Are there legal implications on an ISP subscriber if illegal activity is conducted via their network? I would very much mind sharing a ‘small fraction of bandwidth’ while having arbitrarily large legal exposure.
- gruez 6y agoMy guess is that the legal exposure would be minimal because you'll only be able to connect to whitelisted endpoints (basically whoever partners up with AMZN).
- adrianN 6y agoEven if legally you're in the clear, you'd still run the risk of getting all you electronics confiscated until the police figure out that you were just sharing your bandwidth, no?

- jl2718 6y agoI think the security white paper addresses this silently by making the claim that the devices can’t be tracked due to a combination of encryption and periodic re-addressing. I’m skeptical of the security guarantees, but it’s a good step.
- kevincox 6y agoBased on my reading of the article all traffic is sent to amazon. So presumably you won't get in trouble for trickling a small encrypted channel of data to Amazon. Basically with the fixed Amazon endpoint it bypasses direct illegal activity and general network abuse. Of course this means that everything goes through Amazon and that if someone gets your IP from Amazon you still might have some difficulty.
