Urteile unterlaufen Rechtssicherheit beim Betrieb von WLANs
In Deutschland können Cafés und Restaurants, aber auch Hotelketten oder die Deutsche Bahn ihren Gästen Wifi-Hotspots anbieten, ohne in Gefahr zu sein, bei Urheberrechtsverletzungen durch die Nutzer in die Bredouille zu geraten. Gleiches gilt für Anbieter von Freifunk oder für diejenigen, die ein WLAN in einer Wohngemeinschaft oder einem Familienhaushalt bereitstellen. So steht es im Gesetz. Und nicht nur das: Die Betreiber brauchen auch keine Datensammlungen über ihre Nutzer anzulegen oder einen individuell auf bestimmte Nutzer rückführbaren Account zu erzwingen.
Kriegswaffen aus Deutschland: Türkei bleibt bester Kunde

What It’s Like to Eat Inside Seattle’s Much-Discussed Protest Space
With so much national attention on the politics, it may seem a small thing to focus on food, which is only one part of the ecosystem at the CHOP/CHAZ. But the way people eat there offers a glimpse into the energy of the protest space, whether it’s through pop-up community kitchens, street vendors selling items right in the middle of everything, or local restaurants trying to figure out their place as a support pipeline.
