If all they can get to is kittenwar.com they might not continue to use
it. I was more referring to the inverted webpages or blurry webpages
hack. You can still do a lot of illegal things on someone else's
system with inverted images, and you can still use a whole lot of
bandwidth doing so.
Besides, why not be friendly to your neighbors? If you have some
extra bandwidth, and you're running an unencrypted wireless network
anyway, why not share it?
