Now really, is this part of your War Department sanctioned research, Bob?
You know, We who Watch Over the net have had our eyes on trouble makers like
you for a long time, but because we're Nice Guys we haven't said anything
until now.  But Watch Out.  Your Funding may be Cut any day now, and the
local Army base has been notified in case they want to take Appropriate
Action.

Oh, you weren't on the Arpanet?  We didn't sponsor your Research?
Well, we'll still notify the Army, Just in Case.

Isn't it Just Like the Government to make rules that are impossible or
improbable to follow?  It's just Coincidence that Rulemakers like to
have a Plausible Reason for stepping on people who Do Things we don't like.
Remember what Happened to MIT-AI!  Your Power Supply may be Next!   :-)
