Hampton Inn doesn't want you to download a car
(lemmy.zip)
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."
What's the point? Is that a legally binding contract? What penalties are there if you breach it?
I'd say it's just social engineering because they have a low bandwidth connection (for the number of users).
Disclaimer: I do find it's extremely rude to overuse a shared internet connection, regardless of what use you make of it.
