Well, as far as I'm concerned WoW can burn and get blocked with the rest of the bad traffic because they are externalizing their maintenance costs on others. They should pay for the bandwidth to update their own software. On 10/19/07, Clinton Popovich <crpopovi () nauticom net> wrote:
Who are we to say what is illegal traffic... I mean they could be downloading anything from p2p not just mp3's.. don't get me wrong I HATE WoW but it uses bittorrent to decentralize its updates.

Let's just be honest... 99% of it was illegal traffic taking up far more than their fair share of bandwidth. On 10/19/07, Steven M.
