>Not to them, but through them.
To send it through them, you have to send it TO them. You know what I meant, lets not waste time on this.
> what they can't do is claim they are providing that service, while adulterating my data.
They can do anything they want, unless its against the law. (Or to be more specific, unless its proven in a court to be against the law).
The point is that we are relying on COMMONLY AGREED terms of what a service must provide. There is no explicit legal definition of what a routing service must do. The legal case, is not the same as the technical case.
I was replying to the person whose argument was - my computer, my rules. My point is the telecom can go - My router/infrastructure, my rules.
