You apparently have to be careful with this sort of thing. ISPs cannot
impose punitive damages, as they are not a court of law. If you charge
them a <X> dollar fee for spamming from your dialops, you have to be
willing to prove (in a court of law) that the `fine' is infact a
justifiable recovery of costs (*NOT* including damages) from the users
actions (i.e. hiring abuse staff, paper trail, etc).

I'm not a lawyer, so I could be wrong, but thats what our local abuse
types say...
