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.

A risk that's hard to recognize but easy to prevent

We have a customer site that's been off the Internet for two days through no fault of their own. It may be another three days before it gets fixed - and they are completely booked.

Here's how you can avoid the risk of room credits and lost business for less than $50/month.
