Funny letter from Salon via BoingBoing: I've been saying this for a while. Open wifi access points are more anonymous than the wardialers of the eighties. How can anyone "prove" anything if you have an open hotspot?

I've already composed my reply in case I receive one of these letters someday. "Dear Comcast, I am so sorry. I had no idea that copyrighted works were being downloaded via my IP address; I have a wireless router at home and it's possible that someone may have been using my connection at the time. I will do my best to secure this notoriously vulnerable technology, but I can make no guarantee that hackers will not exploit my network in the future."
