Dunno. I suppose I'd show some logs from the DHCPd server or HostAPd or |
| 8 |
something that showed the MAC addresses used at that particular time of the |
| 9 |
infraction? |

How do Coffee shops handle that? They have open WiFi -- many of them (here |
| 12 |
in Seattle at least), you can just jump on from anywhere. Hell there are |
| 13 |
about 12 WAP right here in my building that I can see and several are not |
| 14 |
WEP or WPA. When our network goes down, sometimes I just jump on them. :) |

Besides, most sites that actually LET you download these days require some |
| 17 |
sort of login anyways. So that hypothetical person in your scenario would |
| 18 |
have that on their computer, whereas I would not. ;-p |

I don't really think about it too much. |

I've thought about setting up a "hotel page" type system, but it's just one |
| 23 |
more thing I don't have time to futz with. If push came to shove, I'd just |
| 24 |
start blacklisting ALL MAC's (or I should say whitelisting *my* MACs |
| 25 |
actually). |

I'd really like to be part of a mesh, but where I live I'm in the middle of |
| 28 |
suburbia. |
