Europeans who provide Wi-Fi hotspots aren’t liable for copyright violations by the strangers who use them, according to Europe’s top court.
However, there’s a whopping big “but.”
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) also ruled that the holders of infringed copyrights can demand that those Wi-Fi hotspots be password-protected to deter future violations.
What’s more, users will be required to “reveal their identity to be prevented from acting anonymously.”
What a brilliant plan to stop the spread of open WiFi...
