When did I say a things about laws? By accountability, I mean:
Does IP adress = the person who pays the ISP bill?
I suppose legislation could help to clarify things in that regard but that has little to do with understanding the technology.
What I'm saying though, is that (like marssaxman) I'd like more people to share their connection but I understand why many don't given the technical issues, bandwidth bill, and legal uncertainties.
- crististm 14y ago"Does IP adress = the person who pays the ISP bill" No - because "absence of bug reports does not mean there are no bugs" Feel free to replace "bug" with "security breach"
- ajasmin 14y agoI agree. But if I'm sharing my WiFi connection, a "security breach" can't be defined as "someone using my IP address" as I'm also sharing that willingly through my NAT router. Or, are you going to turn off the public WiFi and pretend there was a breach should you get into trouble?
- crististm 14y agoI mean, if I have to prove that there was a breach, I couldn't. The whole thing is "it's your network you go to jail". That's all they got. And it is not correct, because they can't prove that it was me or someone else, the same way I can't. But if the argument is only on network ownership, then I loose because now the burden of proof is on me and I can't prove anything.
