[anti-abuse-wg] Definition of Abuse - preamble

Dear Gunther,

> Of course it is - I remotely (via the internet) control your server,

I think the key word here is _remotely_.

I think what Andre was saying above is that if you log in _locally_
(e.g. on the console) and use the CPU to mine bitcoins, it is not
Internet abuse (in fact the machine may not even be connected to the
Internet).

I hope I did not get it wrong myself.

Best regards,
Janos
