Pub fined $14,000 for Customer's Illegal Download

This is a story from the UK and US laws are different, but a hotel that does not protect itself should not assume there is no legal liability.

Having a clear 'Terms and Conditions' or 'Usage Agreement' page requires some type of Public Access Controller (we strongly prefer HP's), but requiring a positive acknowledgement ('I Agree' button) and recording that acknowledgement are the only way to confirm that the guest user was informed.
