for use of Wifi

London (AFP) - http://news.yahoo.com/britons-sign-away-first-born-children-free-wifi-222708987.html">Several Britons agreed to give up their eldest child in return for the use of free wifi, in an experiment to highlight the dangers of public Internet, published on Monday.



Londoners were asked to agree to terms and conditions as they logged on to use free wifi in a cafe in a busy financial district and at a site close to the houses of parliament.



The terms included a "Herod clause", under which the wifi was provided only if "the recipient agreed to assign their first born child to us for the duration of eternity".



In the short period the terms and conditions were live, six people signed up.



"As this is an experiment, we will be returning the children to their parents," said the tech security firm that ran the experiment, F-Secure.



The experiment was aimed to highlight "the total disregard for computer security by people when they are mobile" the report said.

As fucked up as the UK is, I have my doubts about this one.
