looks like i have opened a can of worms here, also depends on what you see as illegal activity, so far we have mentioned downloading, what about child grooming, or other sex offences involving children, it could happen,On 11/07/2011 08:06, tom wrote:We have a couple of holiday cottages and the guests frequently try and use the Wireless but I tell them to take a hike generally.

Hopefully should the worst happen that would limit your personal responsibility, although of course I am not a lawyer so don't take that as Gospel. It just makes logical sense to me :)Any experience out there? Tom te tom te tomJulian
i didn't want to say this at the time, but I am sure many people here with kids have content filtering installed, again its being responsible, but at the end of the day you need to supervise your children's access to the net.
what you would be doing with your terms and conditions is reminding people of this so they don't blame you if someone downloads inappropriate content.
also on a +ve note data collected could be used in a prosecution and help the police, but given that ********* from torquay who has been given a pathetic 10 years apparently. its hardly seems worth it unless the offender is punished properly so they don't re-offend.
