The REAL problem is the 'we don't think so' at the 'Will opening my network make me liable for others' illegal activities?'. That is the key of the problem and until it is fixed there is no way I am opening my wifi to strangers.

If everyone opened their wifi to strangers, it might BE the solution; everyone would realize that IP != person. But I agree with you.

It's an unfortunate chicken-and-egg problem. I think this web site is trying to solve it by getting enough people to jump at the same time.

Have you considered having all the traffic routing through a proxy?
