"But, if someone does not want another person to use their bandwidth in that way, block the ports all over campus. You have to build a fence around your pool, don't you?"

Let me pose a question - When the speed limit sign on the freeway reads 65 MPH do you go 10 over? Sure, everyone does.
Do you go 100? No. Why not? It's unsafe, you are sure to get caught, etc. A long, straight and empty section of highway is very enticing to test out that speedometer in your car and see if it really will do 140 as the speedometer reads. But you don't.

Just because we might be able to do certain things is no reason in and of itself to do them.
