So while it may be OK now doesn't mean it will be ok later and knowing the way they work they'll use it as a reason to charge even more for a higher cap.

I'm speaking as someone who doesn't do any torrenting or P2P shares or anything like that, so don't roll me into that group because I don't like caps.

Prove to me that Bill Gates said that.

Gates himself denies saying it.
