A certain amount? Even years and years ago, when I last ran a server,
I'd wager porn and warez was statistically "all" of the traffic.
It's kind of like the way that pr0n and w4rez dominate all the Internet,
but this doesn't seem to faze Internet network operators.
Perhaps because the pr0n and w4rez are just bits on the wire for most
operators, not terabytes of disk space on servers we own.
Yeah.. but that's like saying video is all there is on the Internet. I
don't know about the rest of you, but I exchange a LOT more email every
day that the number of videos I watch, but... the bandwidth involved in
all that email pretty trivial, even counting all the list traffic going
through our list manager.
