state run coffee shops? that's a step too far :)

the issue is holding the router owner responsible for traffic. it's buck passing of policing, and it's policing that shouldn't even be happening. Let the 'rights' holders sort things out for themselves and leave network protocols and packets out of it. · 2 years ago

yes. It does

Because now you’re making some coffee shop deal with copyright infringement notices they’re going to get (depending on the country. I’m not a fan of things like the DMCA, but you’re making somebody else have to deal with the consequences of your actions. That’s a dick move · 2 years ago
