I'm not convinced. Your distinction makes this all about you , when in fact it's more about the publisher . As far as the publisher is concerned, your friend and AT&T might as well be the same person. Both are taking a cop

Why must the restriction be technical? This is the whole concept of an honor system. Why can't you use someone else's server under their (reasonable and clearly communicated) terms? I could leave a bowl of candy on my desk with

Why not just stop going to the site?
