    Now here's the .90 cent question:

    If ISP's are not liable for the content across them, and cannot be held
    liable.

    And you run an Open WIFI network...

    Aren't you in effect an ISP Albeit a free one?

    And if you are an ISP, then wouldn't you, not be liable for content sent
    across your network.

    but what if someone uses your unsecured network to download copyrighted
    material (just mp3s are enough :->) or to send porn?

    An unsecured WiFi may have serious legal consequences.

    And to come back on the original topic: These legal consequences may be
    good arguments to convince customers that they need to get their network

    secured.
