The problem with unauthorized access isn't the bandwidth use, it's what
might be done with the bandwidth -- spamming or worse. In any case, the

the connection, and the ISP would be completely justified in cutting him
off.

         Two atoms are walking along.  Suddenly, one
       stops.  The other says, "What's wrong?" "I've lost
         an electron." "Are you sure?" "I'm positive!"
