My tenants tell me they are using my home wifi connection for gaming and the usual stuff.. nothing illegal. But say if they were downloading movies or other copyrighted crap, would I be liable, at all? Cause i don't have any way to check or whatever.. Thanks!!
is it registered under your name?
Yes, it is.
I have heard that if they are doing so without your knowledge, you will not be in a lot of trouble. However i am not sure about this
Thanks alot!
Just pray hard hard that they don't do anything illegal.

The website i always go for music too!
I doubt you will be liable for their illegal downloads if you do not have knowledge of it.
If you know that they download illegally and you turn a blind eye to it, you may be liable i think if police finds out.
bus555 sounds like advertiser wohs.

Hi boesky,
In the worst case scenario where they really downloaded illegal software / movies and got caught, you will not be liable if you can prove that you have indeed no way to check up on them.
Cheers.

Sure, the downloads are safe, but depending on the content, aren't legal.

No, Davy Jones and his motley crew.
Anyway, safe or not, what matters is the legality of the content in question. If its legal (A mod for a game, a map) then it's fine. But if its illegal (Cracks, songs etc.), then its piracy. And you know what happens.
I'm not trying to say things like "Piracy is wrong, it's a sin, REPENT!" or shit like that. I do d/l stuff as well. But remember, it's a public forum, not a warez site. Encourage FOSS (Free and open Source Software) instead of downloading the pay-to-use 'cracked' version of a similar product.
