I came across an interesting article on Slashdot about whether or not coffee shops and restaurants should offer Free Wi-Fi access.  For the record, I'm pro Free Wi-Fi, especially since I'm going to IHOP here shortly and taking my laptop.  But I digress.  I thought this arguement against it was pretty funny though: (see I used though again)
I am not aware of any Internet cafe or similar business that got hit by our beloved RIAA but what if their lawyers subpoena a small proprietor for download records? If you are running a shoestring infrastructure with a cable modem with an Airport base station what kind of logs could you possibly proviide? If a kid walks in for a lemonade and starts downloading porn what do you tell the parents when they sent their lawyer to pay you a visit?
