So why don't they just block those accounts?

If they're all authenticating centrally for access to these servers and I assume lots of accounts per server, they could just stick a fair client limit on accounts (eg limit the number of new clients from multiple IPs, existing clients could roam networks without limit).

What they're proposing seems like a very shortsighted grasp for the cheapest solution, ignoring the fact that many paid users are looking at Jellyfish et al.

It might be popular but in forums people generally advocate against since their tos has clauses for that, while there are seed box friendly hosts elsewhere

So what does this have to do with me?

I don't know. Who are you? I responded to LeoPanthera.
