I get that it’s not about the bandwidth, though; it’s about needing to upgrade their security since they scrapped the site without needing to log in, so obviously their site wasn’t secure. They’re claiming IT costs as damages.
They should have had security in place beforehand if they didn’t want people to scrape their site. If AA hadn’t done it someone else would have. Don’t make it public if you don’t want people to use it.
Seriously… I’ve downloaded 2TB in a week before.
