I have an open wireless network that my grandson setup for me. I have no idea how any of this stuff works, I just use Facebook on my iPad. How am I supposed to be responsible for what people who connect to my wireless do on the Internet?
An IP address is not a person.

Some even run open wifi on purpose for plausible deniability: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/01/my_open_wireles.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/01/my_open_wirel... I think the theory is that if you can't prove it was actually you who downloaded something (they never can), then the fact that you have an open wifi makes it reasonable to conclude that it could have been anyone, and the case gets thrown out.
