another? In the meaning of "a different" or at least "an additional" resource? If I use (abuse) a resource which directly infringes your usage rights, this behaviour would not fall in this definition because there is not "another" resource involved..? example .. aehh.. like... I use your cpu-time for calculating bitcoins..? I use your mailserver for spamming? Maybe I just don't get the english words right :) best greetings, Gunther NetCologne Systemadministration -- NetCologne Gesellschaft für Telekommunikation mbH Am Coloneum 9 ; 50829 Köln Geschäftsführer: Timo von Lepel, Mario Wilhelm Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrates: Dr. Andreas Cerbe HRB 25580, AG Köln

yes at least 2 different resources always has to be involved for it to be Internet Abuse

and, yes another means different :) 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!) if you have broken in/compromised security etc - it is Internet abuse, in terms of the current definition In the example of directly using my email server to send spam it falls within the definition of Internet abuse as defined above :)
Maybe I just don't get the english words right :)
No, ich danke dir sehr, it is great to make sure it works all the time every time - or fix/improve it! :) Andre
