You say that he should be held responsible for child porn because he was not technically savvy enough to secure his wifi connection.

You do realize that the majority of folks couldn't tell you the difference between wep and wpa; that the only reason they might have a secured network at all is because they happened to have followed directions when hooking it up, or it came out of the box that way; that they don't have the faintest clue that it would even be an issue.

Do you realize that?
