BGH about uncoded w-lan


I was really excited about todays court decision in Karlsruhe in a case where this dickhead Moses Pelham and Pelham Power Ppppprrroductions brought a charge of copyright infringement against some poor guy who was verifiable on holidays when someone offered a song which Pelham has copyright of through the unsafed w-lan connection of this poor dude.


FINAL JUDGEMENT: you can´t be prosecuted being someone whose connection was - let´s say- abused.
BUT: you need to encode your w-lan connection and your router (with wpa or wpa2) or you will get admonished or prosecuted!

We´ll see what consequences this decision will have on w-lan networks like Freifunk and Fon; and of course on free w-lan offered in so many places.
I have had a dream...

*Update:
I really need to qoute some dude from the bulletin board of Spiegel Online:
"The decision of the Federal Court is a perversion of the sense of justice! If you were to follow this principle then traders should be admonished all the time because of shoplifting, bus and railway companies should be called to account for fare dodgers! [...] We can well do without such a judiciary!" - Teufelsbraten.

  9. I drop a comment whenever I especially enjoy a article on
    a website or I have something to add to the discussion.
    Usually it's triggered by the sincerness displayed in the post I looked at. And on this article "BGH about uncoded w-lan". I was actually excited enough to post a comment :) I do have 2 questions for you if it's
    okay. Could it be simply me or does it look as if like some of these remarks appear as if
    they are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if
    you are posting at other online social sites, I would
    like to follow everything new you have to post.
    Could you make a list every one of your community sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed,
    or linkedin profile?

  12. Heya! I understand this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to
    ask. Does running a well-established website such as yours require a massive amount work?
    I'm brand new to writing a blog however I do write in my journal daily. I'd like to
    start a blog so I can share my personal experience and thoughts online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
    Appreciate it!

  15. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .
    net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress
    on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform.
    I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I
    can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any
    kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
