:said by bent :I think that the majority of people who leave their WAPs open wouldn't have the first clue that someone was using their connection, much less how to document it so that it would stand up in court.
If they get the offender with the laptop in his hand and before he can erase any traces, they have all the proof they need. Also, they can subpoena the ISP records and have further proof there.
But, obviously, you will catch very few in the act. But the point is highly publicising the consequences of those you do catch, thereby scaring off many many more.
subpoena isp records? hmm and what are they going to show? When you connect to router, your outbound ip is same as person that is next to the router, so i am not sure how isp help in prosecution
