Has anyone examined the idea of using a public hotspot on a local

Just looking for some feedback on this one...


It is an interesting point. I have thought about it myself in the
context of having my personal access point open to the public and if
someone hopped on and downloaded something.
Would I be resposible if they tracked it back to my AP?
I am not a legal expert by any means but I would think it would be
comparable to someone using my phone to make a harasing call.
Although I am not sure how that would be ruled either.
