Inferno4420 is flying high
Default Campus Block

alright so i just moved down to school and after about 2 weeks the apparently started blocking all p2p networking on the campus.

i sent an email asking about it and the reply i got was that in order to put up a case i would:
"You would be expected to provide specific details about the type of
information you need access to, and to demonstrate that what you need is
necessary in your academic program course(s) and that there is no other
means of accessing that information."

i know im definitely going to try and fight this, i just dont know how yet.
has anyone had this problem? can the school put a check on what we can and can't use on our computers?
i was going to try and go with its limiting our natural right of freedom of expression or something like that..
and i was thinking if that didnt work i would have to try and crack thru this blocking system..
anyone know how a p2p block would work? or if theres another way to dl stuff?
any input much appreciated thanks
