Okay, obviously as it's in the T&Cs that you are responsible for how your internet connection is used then there really isn't any escaping that - whether you're running an insecure wireless network or not. It's there in black and white.

However, a lot of people on this forum have stated how they feel it unfair that someone can have a lawsuit brought against them for downloading illegal material even when it's very possible it was the next door neighbour using your connection without your knowledge.

You can't just pick and choose when it's fair and when it's not that you are solely responsible for your connection. I'm don't mean to point any fingers here! It's just that the general feeling on the board seems to be you shouldn't be sued for illegal downloading when there is not definite proof you are the one who has done it. The same should apply for any emails sent surely?
