| Aren't you opening yourself up to potential problems like child pornography? No. I'm just one hop in a series of many hops from the point of origin to a floating laptop. I have no more liability than any other node. While it is something I did inquire seriously about, you can ask yourself these simple questions and come up with a common sense answer: Do Starbucks and Denver International Airport have these same potential problems? Do you imagine they had an opinion from their counsel? And finally why would my liability be any more severe than theirs? You are guilty even if you can prove your innocence. I just had dinner with a rather scholarly judge this evening and I bounced your question off of her thinking that maybe something had changed in the law over the last few years. She responded, and I quote: "Your reasoning is correct [HG], but tell me, where in this country is a man guilty even though his innocence can be proven?" As a humorous anecdote I just directed a fellow freeper in this very thread to this site: http://www.grc.com/su-bondage.htm It's not what it sounds like, trust me. |
