You guys get it now? It's like when you go to a hotel/Starbucks/McDonalds/whatever and there's free wifi and you have to select the network. It takes you to a gateway page and says that you have to agree to it before you can use it. Well, that's how this works, except it takes you to a page where you can download whatever content is on the hotspot.
It's a neato idea if you're at a convention and have a booth or something. Just put up a sign with the info and YES, people will do it. If you're smart, you would make it into a ZIP so people can just grab that and not have to dig through everything.

I usually don't connect to free wifi spots :-)
Knowing how I can get into others people computers just with getting wifi from Starbucks, give me chills. So I stay away from those.
I did a PEN test at home, with a friend. And in a matter of minutes, less than an hour, I was able to intercept his wifi communications and I even get into his Windows laptop. I used backtrack Linux.
Similar stuff is for broadcasting files. I have never been forced to share files over wifi (outside of home or work) to more than one person, so on my particular case, I see no benefit.
