Publicly usable WiFi networks

mercredi 19 novembre 2014 à 13:00

Germany's law punished WiFi network owners for what people download through those networks. The result is — very few publicly usable WiFi networks.

This law is unjust because (1) it is a system of collective responsibility, conscripting anyone that has a WiFi net as an enforcer, and (2) the War on Sharing is unjust in its entirety.

It would be ironic if a mere economic consideration leads to elimination of this unjust law. In the mean time, Germans should operate WiFi networks without passwords, to refuse conscripting as enforcers in the War on Sharing.
