They own the product. If they don't have a case, they'll change the EULA so they have one...

I understand that they don't want me to provide service to others in my building. I am in that case taking away from their possible profits. Question: Are there any lawyers in the group? Is someone willing to do a little pro-bono work to determine if the TWC letter has any legal grounding?

Imagine they sold the service to you for say, $40 per month, and you had an 802.11 wireless setup powerful enough to cover the island of Manhattan. You (generous, magnanimous soul that you are), decide to offer this free to the island. How long do you think TWC/RoadRunner could stay in business with this model? Their business model depends on a large number of subscribers paying for the service, regardless of bandwidth cosumed.
