Re: [anti-abuse-wg] Definition of Abuse - preamble

Dear Gunther,

...

if you use the same resource it is not Internet Abuse - as in your own example using someone's CPU to mine bitcoin and doing so on the CPU directly, is not Internet Abuse (it is very abusive, though!)

Of course it is - I remotely (via the internet) control your server,

I think the key word here is _remotely_. I think what Andre was saying above is that if you log in _locally_ (e.g. on the console) and use the CPU to mine bitcoins, it is not Internet abuse (in fact the machine may not even be connected to the Internet). I hope I did not get it wrong myself. Best regards, Janos
