All I can say is this: Welcome to the future, where you can trust no one anymore. With politicians debating over "three strikes" and you loose your internet (and thus your income), you won't be able to grant anybody access to your computer or your internet connection anymore - not your kids, not your wife, not your cousins, not a customer that comes to your homeoffice.

Because it will be like this:
1st strike: Kids download a music video or song. You cut them off from the internet.
2nd strike: A customer comes to your homeoffice asks you if he can check his emails, plugs in his laptop in your internet connection and his emule client starts downloading in the background.

Then you are one strike away from loosing your income, you will buy a safe to lock away your laptop and put your router in a steel locker.

What, still using WLAN? Are you deliberately trying to ruin yourself?

All this precautions of course don't matter if you have kids at home, because that means: face it you are already ruined.

I remember, my parents used to lock away our computer games (those 3.5'' hard disks) when they were not at home. They locked them in a closet. We were three boys and used to move the entire closet from the wall, unscrew the back and get in from behind. That is, until our lock picking skills were good enough.
