A splash screen for the internet portal at a Hampton Inn. The text says:
“We are pleased to provide you with internet service during your stay. By clicking below, you agree not to download, share or otherwise use others’ copyrighted content, such as movies, music, computer games or television shows without proper authorization.”
I hereby grant you all “proper authorization”. Ez
It’s so funny to me when rules say “don’t do something illegal.” I get it, I get that they want a specific thing to point at if they boot you off, but it feels so silly.
Did Sam Altman ever stay at a Hampton Inn? This is going to be the thing that finally gets him!
I wonder how many nasty letters they’ve received after guests have quickly downloaded a film for their overnight stay.
Well maybe if they didn’t charge $35 for a porn…
Sounds like you have a very specific axe to grind.
I wouldn’t say specific, I used porn as an example. In my case it would actually be the old videogames you could play on hotel TVs back in the 90s and presumably 00s
Shit was expensive for an 8yr old
By tht logic you’re not allowed to even so much as visit a website as that would require you to download logos another media into your cache. Seems pretty useless to me.
They didn’t define “proper” and “from whom” authorization. Checkmate.
I wonder how hard it would be to set up a hidden raspberry pi proxy server on the hampton inn’s wifi and use it as a torrent vpn.
Well, considering that even their premium wifi will usually only get about 29 Mbps down at the high end, it won’t be super effective.
This is basically what I get at home, on average, despite paying for 100Mb/s, because capitalism says you can use the words “up to” when you sell something that will likely never reach that number.
You wouldn’t shoot a Policeman and then steal his helmet. You wouldn’t go to the toilet in his helmet, and then send it to the Policeman’s grieving widow, and then steal it again. Downloading films is stealing; if you do it you WILL face the consequences!
