I was having a discussion with a professor in one of my law classes and he didn't have an answer so I thought I would ask it here. Here is the hypothetical situation: You have a public wireless network that doesn't have an authentication mechanism that you allow the general public to use. In order to limit your liability you use a click through AUP but you don't ask for any information that can be used in tracking the user should they do something illegal on your network (example: download a movie off bittorrent). Does the click through AUP mitigate your liability or is it just a false feeling of security? Thanks, Jerry W.
