If you read the terms aond conditions, you'll find that many - maybe
even most - wifi hotspot providers do this. So long as they make it
clear that they are doing so, and give you the choice of not using their
service if you disagree with the conditions, then they are doing nothing
illegal or worthy of a lawsuit.
