Unprotected Wi-Fi would be my pick. That's why you shouldn't use an open hotspot to download stuff. You could put its owner into trouble.

If it's not protected, I take it as a yes. Maybe the guy wants to help people out, who knows? It's also a risk for both people. The owner might get busted and the user might get his information jacked.

Piracy is piracy, doesn't matter if you are blind or disabled in any other way. Funny though, what would a blind guy want porn for.

Just out of curiosity, how is a blind dude supposed to use a computer?! Why would he have Internet if he can't see its content. It's quite possible that he tripped a wire and smashed his face into the keyboard while one of his relatives had their pc turned on and accidentally went to a torrent site and clicked the download link.

They basically read out the web pages.

I'm surprised you're asking this, unless I once again fail to grasp sarcasm  As ChrisTX said, there are many accessibility programs that allow blind people to operate computers. They can interact with applications through voice commands, and have text read aloud to them by a speech synthesizer. Without going any further, Windows comes bundled with basic narrator and screen magnifier tools.

When you successfully complete designing a fully standard compliant web page, there comes WAI-ARIA and makes you design the whole thing all over again so disabled people can access your stuff. It's still easier to make your website blind compatible than making it Internet Explorer compatible though.
