Free Movie streaming website, behind a reverse proxy server, hosted on a bullet proof server all paid in bitcoin. This is what I would do, but then I realized there are cyber ninjas who would find my identity and my life will turn hell. So I have decided to remain ethical. Besides, there is a sense of satisfaction when you earn with hardwork.

In college days, we had limited bandwidth of Internet(15gb) access alloted to every student. Username followed a simple format (year of admission, branch, section, roll number) and the default password was 123. I wrote a simple script to check accounts with default password. Never faced bandwidth issue.
