Subject: [SCFN] UK to outlaw open WiFi?

"The government will not exempt universities, libraries and small businesses
providing open Wi-Fi services from its Digital Economy Bill copyright
crackdown, according to official advice released earlier this week.

This would leave many organizations open to the same penalties for copyright
infringement as individual subscribers, potentially including disconnection
from the internet, leading legal experts to say it will become impossible
for small businesses and the like to offer Wi-Fi access."
