PERRY -- Two of Houston County’s public libraries discontinued Wi-Fi service to patrons indefinitely on Friday while a third will shut down Wi-Fi on Monday.
Sara Paulk, director of the Houston County Public Library System, said service was discontinued at the Warner Robins and Centerville branches after she received cease and desist notices Thursday through the library’s internet service provider.
An online movie distributor had demanded the IP stop materials from being illegally downloaded. Paulk said the movies illegally downloaded were pornographic in nature.
Patrons were faced Friday with signs at entrances to the two branches notifying them of the discontinued service. Paulk said she was notified by email mid-afternoon Thursday, and service was shut down after closing.
