It may even be the landlord who is the account holder, and he has nothing to do with what his tenants do online. Unless (and iam not sure about the legalities), the account holder is responsible for what passes though his networks. But, if the acount holders were responsible, that would open up a whole new can of worms, with regards to privacy, and/or one person being sued for the crimes of another.

Well things haven't gone far enough for that example to be meaningful but I guess the landlord would cut the connection completely if he was smart and tell the tenants to find their own alternative.
