Re: Should people do this? none (#3)

Your line of thought follows that of the average spammer:

    "This mail server is an 'unprotected'
    open relay. They aren't using all of
    their bandwidth or server capacity
    so they wouldn't mind if I used some..."

It is just as WRONG to steal physical objects from someone as it is to steal services (ie. bandwidth) that they pay for. Where has the conscience of the average person gone?

Sorry, I have to kinda agree with Mike on this one. Many companies (in the US, might be different overseas), pay for a limited amount of bandwidth (100MBps/day, 200MBps/day, etc). Using their bandwidth, protected or not, is theft. Ether is still ether. Sorry guys, I just don't agree with it. -J/Rod
