Just to illustrate that no good deed goes unpunished, The Register has picked up on the story of our own Cannibal Harry's woes with Earthlink. Earlier this month CH was whacked with truly massive ISP bills as a result of his hosting the Nvidia/Halo promo movie.

From the Register:

Now, Earthlink charges ten cents for every megabyte downloaded above the 500MB per month limit. By our reckoning, Harry owes around $450,000 for September, so we assume his bandwidth usage was somewhat lower than claimed (ie. 240GB), or Earthlink has already cut his bill down to 24 grand. The figure of $24,000 comes from Rampancy.net, which first revealed Cannibal Harry's woeful tale.

Thanks to Rampancy.net reader Carth who pointed this out in our forum.
