I'm guessing whoever the internet service is registered to would get a notice in the mail. Would be very tricky to litigate something like that. If something like that came up, I bet they would just skip over that IP address once they found out the owner. Although I bet it almost never happens. Who is going to sit in a starbucks long enough to download a movie torrent?

I've never used public wi-fi at one of those places. I wonder, do they have any blocks in place to prevent you accessing certain kinds of traffic?
