Hello,

My university has blocked students who are using their network from downloading songs or getting a connection to software were you can download songs from. I understand that some people may not WANT to help me try and find a way to enable me to download songs as it is illegal. However, is there any way I can do something with the network settings to enable me to get access to limewire or nething like that? I was talkin to a member of staff at the uni and he told me that although it is illegal i should ask a computer person as they may no how to get you access to it.
Please help
Emmasorry we dont do illegal stuff here.. What is the consequences if you are caught violating their RULES? Is it worth it?

What are you studying at your university? Ethics?The university I'm currently studying at has strong firewall rules on the network.

If we get caught doing anything we shouldn't (p2p, porn, music / movie downloading, file sharing, running a server, ETC...) then our connection is cut and we have to do the walk of shame to the IT department.

I have never had to go through the process (though I know somebody that has) but to get cut off with a deadline looming... not good!My son has a similar rule at his school. He elected to follow the rules of their network usage as a matter of principle. I don't think you ever get bad results with that approach.lol... i BROKE the rules at my old high school then my senior yr they asked me to take a class where i help the tech group out and i gave them my note book with all of the loop HOLES of the network.... lol so it can be a good thing just depends on the school.Use a HTTP tunneler.

Fight the power!depends on if they have those blocked.. after a while my high scholl finally blocked all of the ones i knew.
