Here in the U.S., I believe the FCC Open Internet Order exempts premises like
Starbucks (I forget the terminology they used) from rules applied to “BIAS
providers”.

When you start blocking particular applications you are no longer a neutral
conduit. None of the most popular free wifi providers in Canada block
bittorrent. Starbucks, Blenz Coffee, McDonalds, Tim Horton's.

Legal issue aside, p2p / filesharing systems create a 'drain' on guest wifi
systems as such it is better to excercise the right to block them.. (this right
belongs to our customers).
No one is interested in taking the calculated risk of inviting any additional
actions or creating a situation that may cause more grief than it is worth....
In reality there is a nuisance factor that has to be taken into account.

This is very good, however I believe you need to add what action you are
asking your customer to take...
It is appropriate to ask your customer to:-
'Please remove the copyright contents, as identified by the notice from
any or all public/file sharing applications'.
I've got a customer with a large guest wifi system (1,600 hotel rooms).
By the time these notices come across the offender and their laptop has long
since left the property.
