not quite true. The university is claiming for alleged 'bandwidth usage' -
they say he used $100,000 worth of their bandwidth..... now, considering
the client only transfers 67k on a session involving the flush and update
of over 1000 blocks.... do they charge their students for each
non-academic surf of the web (one single 10 minute web session can be over
10Mb of useless data).
I'm afraid the University will win.....unless they dont have a watertight
'acceptable usage' policy. but It'll be another blow over FUD problems
with legitimate distributed causes.
