Ohio County Temporarily Cut Off Free WiFi

Coshocton County, Ohio, offered residents free wireless Internet access in the block surrounding the courthouse.

But that free WiFi was shut down last week after a single user illegally downloaded a movie. Sony Pictures notified the county's Internet provider, which then sent a note to the county.

Coshocton's free WiFi has been restored — apparently after the county received assurances from Sony that no action would be taken.
