There's one group of people, though, who act like ISPs but often have none of the structure for dealing with problems that most ISPs have had to develop: those who operate open Wi-Fi hotspots, either intentionally or by accident because they haven't enabled security in their wireless routers. I wonder how long it will be before Fred Jones of 123 Maple St., Topeka gets a knock on the door from the FBI because some enterprising young malicious hacker was driving by Fred's house and saw the telltale message that said "Linksys--no encryption" from the wardriving software running on the laptop on his passenger seat. Fred certainly will not have registered an agent for service of process under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and certainly won't have insurance covering the risks of unauthorized Wi-Fi usage either. I don't envy the Freds of the world. {Jonathan} ------------------- Professor Jonathan I.
