Certain German companies have the policy of firing employees for "abuse of their internet connection".

I was even denied access to the internet connection of the university dormitory I live in permanently, because I was running an FTP-server with a couple of movies (though hardly anyone ever connected to, it, since nobody except for a few friends of mine knew of it).

But maybe that's because the sysadmin of our network doesn't like me anymore, after I told him where he could shove certain large objects.
