In my case, there isn't always enough pie to go around.
In the last 6 months, my cablemodem connection that I have had for
years, now gets drug down at certain times of day or night to pokey
speeds by a bunch of local 20 somethings who live nearby and who
download a lot of pirated movies. We've identified the problem but
there is nothing we can do about it but pay more to switch ourselves to
DSL and abandon cablemodem to them I guess.
At first, I was outraged when I read Comcast was trickily disrupting the
bit torrent movie downloading streams ... now, that I have been
affected by the movie downloaders I cheer them on.
Not only are the bit torrent movie downloaders pirating and defrauding
artists/ the moviemakers etc. but they, while being relatively few in
numbers, are hogging the majority of our shared bandwidth to do so and
depriving the many of us of the small amount of bandwidth we use, pay
for and depend on to do business and other legitimate personal uses.
grrrr...

Should I get your pie because you are not eating it at the moment?
If there is more than enough pie to go around, why not?
Is you pie less tasty because you see somebody eating their pie faster
than you are?
