This kind of thinking is the sure way to be left alone in the dark
again. Sorry, but the thinking is dangerous in my view. The fact is that
the consumer must at some point pay for the larger capacity servers. And
while it does make some assumptions about devices comming, there are some
assumptions that should be allowed. To expect ever growing servers to
respond to your lack of cooperation is unrealistic.
