The fundamental principle of civil disobedience is found in Thoreau's formulation that "Under a government which imprisons unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison." An act is not civil disobedience unless the protestor is at credible risk of being arrested.
nothing like taking it too literally... a shame...
my days of running a BBS validate the claims of the grandparent post. the BBS system calls it "downloads" when users are downloading, and "uploads" when they are uploading. the term is applied based on the commands given by the user initiating the transfer, and it's not "vice-versa" on the other end.
on the other hand, p2p programs present a differing use of the terminology. I have 5 downloads going; the 5 others will show one upload each.
back in the '80s, seagate made some 20MB hard drives ('ST-255' and friends) that I've seen hold up like no other fixed disc in memory. not long ago, I pulled a pair of them out of a dead PC-XT -- where they'd been, collecting dust, for 8 years, after 9 years in continuous service -- stuck them in another XT clone box, and fired it up. the drives spun for 9 hours while their contents were delivered out thru the slow XT serial port, without so much as a single failed CRC32:-)
