On-Campus, ITS and fines.

Right, what with the Acceptable Use Policy changing this year and everything it seems nobody knows what the deal is with using twofo. We know that it will be frowned upon but it seems nobody knows how likely it is we'll be found and disconnected or anything. Essentially we're all taking a risk, I imagine those with a higher share count will be more visible simply due to the higher amount of data they're transferring, but we're all in a similar position.
So far I havn't heard of anyone getting any grief for using the hub but it could just be a matter of time I suppose, if/when the trained monkeys in ITS find out what to do we might get word that someone's been banned. Since we're all in the same position and any one of us could potentially be hit with a fine at any time I propose that the community helps pay for whatever fines are dished out. If it looks like they're really on top of things we might have to stop using it altogether, and it would be a shame to let a few people get fined and the rest of us get off scot free, so in the hypothetical situation that someone on campus gets fined, would anyone be up for contributing towards paying it? This might be a stupid idea but I don't see why it wouldn't work. We're all using the service, it's free, fast and excellent and the more users we have the better. It would be a real shame if a few individuals got hit with a fine and the rest of us just stood aside and watched. Thoughts?
