If you don't want someone else to do something that costs you money, you're going to have a bad time if you don't prevent them from doing it.

Amazon has the ability to charge the requester. Pass the buck on.

Have you considered cloudflair?

Backblaze B2 + Cloudflare = free outbound transfer (bandwidth alliance).

Making objects in S3 publicly available and then complaining about their extortionate bandwidth charges is...silly.

Apple employees are using their product, downloading lots of data, not paying for any of it, and the OP doesn't like it or can afford it.

I had intended to look into Cloudflare before but didn't get a chance. Looks like it's a good time now!
