You may be right, perhaps they don't know their @rse from their elbow, but if they put the 'cap' in their T&Cs to cover themselves just in case they need it in future, I think it's only a matter of time before someone falls foul of it. If the director in charge of the AUP team changes for example, and starts tightening up their act. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day...and then it'll be a short hop, skip and a jump to enforcing it regularly.
It's worth standing up against it
now rather than getting caught out later, IMO. It worries me as a principle even tho' I use 600k and have never come anywhere near cap-level usage of my service.
