Stupidity at it's finest

File hosting sites are responsible for any pirated content.

Well, Guess they'd better block all German users now.

If this type of stupidity isn't shut down swiftly there won't be any file hosting sites.

Crazy!

Wardriving and hackers stealing corporate stuff

Why advise WPA? WPA2 is where it's at, and to boot make Wireless access useless without it all running to a VPN gateway as well. Yet again, if you're making important financial transactions or otherwise top secret business decisions over a Wireless connection, you have to have some expectation that someone may capture it and eventually get a hold of it once they decrypt it all. Best to use a Wired connection for some of that. That way, Physical access rather than just driving within range is needed.
