I live in the dorms and leave my wireless router unprotected as a courtesy to other members of my floor. If someone uses a file sharing program though my router will there be penalties?
While it might be considered a courtesy by your fellow students on your Residence Hall floor that you leave you wireless router unprotected, this actually constitutes a violation of our wireless network policy. You as the owner and operator of that wireless router could be held responsible for any actions somebody might take online while using your wireless connection. We highly recommend you place some form of access controls on your wireless router.
