Judge Says IP Address Doesn't Prove Anything in Piracy Case
In Germany you, as the owner of a internet access point, are liable for whatever some person does with this line.<p>It is called 'Störerhaftung'. That way it doesn't matter who exactly did illegal you download stuff. You are liable non the less.<p>Funny thing though - the moment you are an incorporated ISP you do not fall under this concept anymore.<p>That is by the way the reason free WiFi isn't that available in Germany.
