In France it's an offence to not configure securely your network if there's some illegal stuff happening on it. You are held responsible for any downloads on your own network.
- RHSeeger 4y agoIf that's the case, then it should be illegal for companies to sell devices that have issues that can be exploited in them.
- silisili 4y agoRight? Seems like half of consumer routers have or have had an open exploit. I believe the GP, but can't see it being enforced.
- mod 4y agoThat must be tough on the ISPs.
- autoexec 4y agoIt's how it works for US ISPs already, at least as far as copyright is concerned. If an ISP doesn't uphold the DMCA, and they allow repeat offenders on their networks (defined as "unproved accusations by the media industry that an IP was logged more than once") the ISP can become liable for the actions of their subscribers and subject to billions in fines. See Cox cable and the dozen or so other lawsuits against ISPs going on right now
- elcomet 4y agoISPs are not held responsible
- richrichardsson 4y agoHow securely must it be secured? If you put a trivially guessable password are you still liable? Are there still exploits for wireless encryption? Kind of crazy that there isn't a huge burden of proof required by the accuser.
