err... how do you spot the difference between a university leech and a garden-variety leech?
and why is it alright for them to use the university's and MY bandwidth to
get a file from me but not to return the favour? why should they have one of my upload slots when a file
sharer could be getting something from me that other users will then be able to get from them?
if the uni wants to ban filesharing involving their pipes, their business. if they encourage people to take files from
me, use up
my bandwidth, take up
my upload slots that
sharers could be using, and not contribute anything back, then it becomes
my business and I don't give a f#ck if they're a university, a hospital or the frickin' Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. They're leeching scum.
