I'll just say sorry and be on my way

Just logged in with my laptop on campus. You have to login to the university's proxy or something, so no random laptop toting bums can leech.

I used MIRC + IRC Spy the year I was in the dorms.
EDIT: Nevermind, I don't know what happened to the site since that time.

I'd just buy the damn cd or whatever, scratch it up, and claim you were getting a copy to replace yours. This should give you a plausible claim to fair use/ permissable use. IF they shoot it down or whatever, that's cool. But better in case you get sued (very rare, but could happen).

They must really be cracking down. I got a phone call about a week ago from my ISP telling me they have been monitoring my activity and they noticed I was downloading materials using P2P software. They told me if they caught me doing it again, they would shut off my internet connection.
I told them id remove the software (uTorrent) and It wouldnt happen again. No problems since. They arent looking to take you to jail, just stop you from stealing copyrighted material.

I am unfamiliar with Usenet, (ie is that a torrent program or some sort of database for files)
Also, I'm under the impression this Pheonix labs download will scramble my ip so the school doesn't know I'm downloading? or it will block them from reading what i do?
i am techno-idiot...

its a compilation of 100 greatest trance songs, I don't think it was published by a company. Just compiled and posted by a user.
I'll look into finding it somewhere and -think- about buying it. But as it stands right now I have complied with everything they have asked, so i think they dont give a fuckall about me anymore.
