Are users who share their hotspot indemnified if someone browses something illegal via their hotspot? In light of the recent prosecution of Tor exit-node operators, this service seems like it could create similar risk to the end users who share.

- guiambros 14y agoExcellent question. I'd love to see it officially answered as well. I guess the hotspot owner is protected, given that users are identified by their own Facebook account and the credit card used to pay for the charges.
- jiggy2011 14y agoIf you had indemnity you could just set one of these up and go on your merry way doing what the hell illegal stuff you like so I'm guessing not. Remember that even if you don't happen to get found guilty in court you could be looking at having the police turn up one day and confiscate all of your computers for several months as well as digging through your email etc.
