Just read a scary article that all WISP's and free networks alike should
read. 

RIAA Fights Back, Threatens Open Wi-Fi

"If the judge rules that we're each legally responsible for all of the
traffic that comes through our ISP account, open, unprotected Wi-Fi hotspots
would become a serious legal liability, the hundreds of thousands
(millions?) of people who depend on their neighbors for Wi-Fi will be out of
luck, while altruistic (or ignorant) folks who leave their wireless networks
open could find themselves embroiled in an RIAA lawsuits even if they've
never shared a single song in their lives."
