| 1227938 | 2011-09-01 03:51:00 | www.nzherald.co.nz I'm offering up $50 for the first person who can prove that they've been the cause of a copyright infringement notification being sent to the council on the new Wellington Hotspots :devil |

| 1227939 | 2011-09-01 04:44:00 | If they have any sense they block the most obvious offenders such as p2p / torrents etc. And of course you wouldn't be promoting any illegal behaviour now would you? |

| 1227944 | 2011-09-01 12:05:00 | That's OK, you can throttle the heck outta your torrent so you're just "connected" but not actually downloading anything. Works just the same ;) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1227945 | 2011-09-01 12:47:00 | Apparently the Wifi in Wellington is not affected by the new laws anyway according to the Mayor. The Wifi is for transients according to CityLink. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1227946 | 2011-09-02 10:05:00 | "Transients" - that's a laugh. It either means a homelss alcoholic, who's long since traded any laptop in his posession for cheap wine, or a tourist, who will be of an age and of a nature to bleed any uncapped wifi for all the torrenting he can manage... along with every other person from 12-35 years old who may pass through the city. Anyway, I think Chill is onto a really good stir. I'll add another $50 to the pot to support the cause - same rules as in post #1. First person who can do the same with the Parliament internet gets $50 as well. And a bloody medal for public service in the face of buroucratic stupidity. |
