there is nothing stopping him for mounting our electricity costs in order to tap into this 'unused ressource'. If they are really working for the sake of humanity, nothing is stopping him to support the ressource providers as a kind of community project. Thats what BOINC has been doing for the sake of scientific progress for years.
i mean, if all they are doing is renting the resources in a data center, so can he with ours. They should be fine with not owning things really.
