A UK pub that provided its customers with free Wi-Fi access has been fined £8000 after one of them used the Internet link to download illegal material.

What is the chances of this happening in South Africa?

Monitoring of traffic usage in SA required a court order. In the UK it doesnt....

I would guess in SA that if someone downloaded child porn under your wifi, that they would chase you unless you could specifically prove it was someone else. So I guess I am saying the same kind of thing would happen.

It's crazy! So we gonna start holding people responsible for what other people use their water, air and electricity for?

Guy stays in a hotel and watches a child porn movie, is the hotel liable cos they provided the electricity?
