I don't see it that way. I see it as part of the risk if you offer paid utilities to someone. The rental agreement should include provisions to restrict or prohibit mining if the "landlord" doesn't want to pay for mining (or grow lamps, for that matter) as part of the electric.

Most criminals don't see it that way. Justifying their crimes with clever imagination doesn't reduce the burden they dump upon their neighbors one tiny bit. We all end up paying for your bullshit. Taking electricity from educational institutions makes it 10 worse.

Most dorm rooms could only handle a miner or two at the most. I don't see it any different than a TV plugged in or a xbox or refrigerator or stereo or lava lamp or any other type of entertainment item. I don't think it's ever going to become a data center of equipment. Nobody is taking anything, as people pay for the dorm and my son paid about $11000 a year for room and board at Notre Dame. His dorm room was built in 1928 shared it with 3 others and they had a total of 3 outlets for all 3 to share. It had no a/c and even one miner would have been hard to run but would have used no more electric than the tv, computers, refrigerator.

Your are kidding aren't you...? Surely you know how much electricity a miner draws ??

An s1 miner uses 380 watts minimum at the wall, a TV or xbox or fridge would only use a fraction of that..
Its stealing power whichever way you look at it and I'm sure the Uni's are starting to wise up to all of this now..
