> This will eventually result in all those nice businesses shutting off their free wifi. I suspect it's too late to fix that. I've seen "Hadopi letters" in hotel lobbies and heard about people shutting down public wifis for this exact reason. Either they restrict the network drastically, which, in practice, means proxy everything and block every non-http use (I'm not sure it prevents anything). Or they track all the clients, but that's kind of hard to do for a cafe. Might work for hotels (I'm not even convinced of that). After the second letter, you can bet the café will just cut the Wifi. I wonder if big brands like McDonald's will find a way to continue providing free wifi..
