Is SUNFLASH misuse of the network?

On the other hand, it does bring up another issue...

To receive SunFlash you have to ask for it, you have to ask to be put
on their mailing list (perhaps there are exceptions.)

So who's decision/responsibility should it be?

Sun's, to refuse to put you on unless you can provide a non-protected
path?

Or yours, to be ready to justify why you believe it's ok for you to
receive it over that path?
