Do you call out Skype, specifically or are you going to have to argue that Skype is "abuse"?
Our terms of service are very specific. Users mayy not resell or barter our services, are not allowed to subvert our firewall, and may not set up servers on links where they are not authorized.
Perhaps the judiciary in Laramie doesn't use Skype, but at some point, the case will end up in a big city, then you're toast. Before that point is reached, Skype will be on my side, spendingcash in "f*ck you" quantities on lawyers.
Skype will have a hard time justifying setting up unauthorized servers on our network. Especially without paying us. Note that this is not the same as trying to charge Google for serving our customers. Google isn't trying to set up clandestine servers within our network without paying to do so. Skype is. --Brett Glass ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/247/@now Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
