Agreed. Thought it seems to me that it really depends on the policies of the ISP. Unless FON starts dealing with the big time ISP's to gain legal protection for its hotspot users, it seems like you could really be at risk. After having merely skimmed TFA, it seems like you could easily sign yourself up as a "Linus" user using a fake name, etc. and start abusing a Linus hotspot.
Some games (I'm thinking Urban Terror the Q3 mod) have implemented a "limping" feature, but if you pause for a few seconds, you can bandage yourself and regain full run speed.
