This is a topic I am 50 50 on, and I figured I'd ask here to poke around to find some opinions.
Say you have the average family living in suburbia with a wireless network. The neighbor is a creepy old guy who leeches their wireless to do illegal activity. The activity gets traced. Who gets charged?
On one hand it's easy to put blame on the family for not securing their network. On the other hand, if that creepy old guy was a master hacker, then what? If he has the ability to circumvent any type of security that this family pushed on the network, how could the family be blamed?
Clearly, someone has to take the fall. But.. who?
