MPAA Shuts Down Town's Free Muni WiFi Over 1 Download

[Mr. Jones]

But it's the picture The Consumerist decided to use that got me to read the article:

The MPAA forced the town Coshocton, OH to shut down their entire free municipal WiFi network because of a single instance of a single user illegally downloading a copyrighted movie.

I am pretty sure the MPAA would find themselves in a heap of trouble if they pulled that in Philadelphia with the city's free WiFi.

Oh! Wait. That is because that the free WiFi in Philly doesn't work unless you spend $50.00 on an Alfa wifi device that is primarily used by hackers for war driving.






And I happen to own a few Alfa 802.11 b/g and b/g/n recievers. The go well with my LaFonera 2100 that I made into a WiFi Pinapple with Jaseger . See what happens when I get bored.

Which this is also why I hack my cell phone to be a cellular modem because I no longer trust free WiFi if hacking packet sniffers is so easy.

Uh, unless I am mistaken, that fuzzy road sign says "To US 50." Route 50 doesn't go anywhere near Coshocton, nor do I think there is a Jolly Pirate in Coshocton.

That is the Jolly Pirate on 1st Street in Huntington, WV and the sign says to US 60 West.
