Abuse doesn't mean breaking the rules. It's like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet and staying for a week. Or taking a job with unlimited vacation time and coming to work once a month.
- Oletros 9y agoThen we agree to disagree.
- burkaman 9y agoWhat do we disagree about?
- Oletros 9y agoI disagree with you in that it is a misuse. What Amazon should do, as Microsoft should have been done in the case of the unlimited Onedrive offer is putting some clause of reasonable use. When some company offers an unlimited resource, some of the customers will use it to upload/download/etc a lot.
- milcron 9y agoThey should declare limits, then.
- nkrisc 9y agoI bet in the ToS there are likely limits spelled out, or barring that, a clause that grants Amazon to right to shut you down if they unilaterally decide you're "abusing" the system.
- Oletros 9y agoI have looked at the TOS in Spain and you won the bet :) They can shut down your account for the reason you stated
- Dylan16807 9y agoYeah, never make a bet that a company doesn't have a vaguely worded way to kick off whoever they want at any time. But it would be nicer for everyone if they could just honestly state a number of TB.
