Court Finds Constitutional Significance in Defendant's Failure to Password-Protect Home Wireless Network
,----[ Quote ]
| Taking a few moments to secure a
| residential wireless network with a
| password is a good idea, a fact recently
| noted by the Federal Trade Commission. An
| open network is an invitation for piggy-
| backers and data thieves.
|
| Who knew that password-protecting a
| wireless router also had constitutional
| significance? According to a recent court
| decision from Oregon, the failure to
| password-protect a wireless network can
| diminish the extent to which the Fourth
| Amendment protects computers and
| information on that network from government
| searches.

Italy Plans to Hold YouTube Accountable for its Users' Uploads (Updated)
,----[ Quote ]
| The Italian government is moving ahead with
| its plans to hold YouTube accountable for
| its users' copyright infringements.
| According to new regulations that have
| recently been proposed by the Italian
| government, YouTube would have to get a TV
| license to operate in Italy. Should Italy
| move ahead with this regulation, YouTube
| would have to follow the same rules and
| regulations as traditional broadcast
| channels. These new rules would eliminate
| the "safe harbor" rules that currently
| shield services like YouTube.
