That's also an inequality in upload/download, and it's far more important than just a bit of imbalance in total bandwidth. Especially when most of that download bandwidth is watching popular (and probably commercial) videos.
I'm not sure which side I'd put the typical "no servers" TOS, since if enough people ignored that it would probably go away.
