Stupid BT users

[Tv Controls you]

Before you read anything.... This thread is pretty much pointless... So unless you wish to waste your time reading some
pissy whining session, written by a spastic himself.... move on..

So... I decided to take up some college courses on my free time, in the Information Technology field. And of course Bit-torrent is always
brought up the second piracy is mentioned (with an obvious negative tone)... As if the only use for P2P networks is piracy (typical ignorant teacher's view)
Surprisingly, the stupid methods of teaching DRM, Copyright, and other B.S was by far surpassed by classmates. (That actually tend to be due to anti-trust issues rather than DRM/copyright)

On numerous occasions, I have seen other classmates browsing on private trackers such as What.cd, torrentleech, Rev-tt, demonoid, and numerous others.
Let me remind you that this college is monitored 24/7 by anti-piracy networks, as the college actually has an agreement to let them monitor all network activity closely.
I once remarked to a kid on what.cd... "you shouldn't browse or download on the schools network, as not only the school will find out, but what.cd will link your account to another person on the network"
In which I got the response, "No, it's fine... this isn't even my account.. It's my room mates". Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see his login name or I would have most likely reported the spastic cunt myself.

It then dawned on me right then, and there..... This is why we can't have nice things.... This is why sites get shut down.... This is where you hear the horror stories of people getting sued.
The BT community leads to its own demise... Purely by the amount of shitty members that a tracker acquires.

Hilarious.

If you mean monitored from the inside, then I suspect that this claim is just made-up propaganda to try to scare people away from using any *university-only* sharing network such as Direct Connect, which (when properly set up) would not even be visible to people on the outside.

You must always account the lowest common denominator into account when providing anything to the masses. But I feel ya.

Whatever happened to the good old days when people attended college simply to get drunk and engage in wanton sex?

Considering the cost per credit.... I would actually consider it rape rather than "wanton sex" going on at most colleges.

Not really sure of the deal with software venders to monitor the network... Although I would imagine, it would result in something along the lines of.. cheaper "student" software..
or something of the likes... Although, I have heard of multiple people getting fines for first time warnings for torrenting(mostly Microsoft apps/os... which oddly enough is one of our biggest endorsers).

Heard of the new drinking game dreamed up here in N.Z.? The 'Possum' drinking game. The rules are really simple, you climb into trees and drink until you fall out.

I had no clue until you told me that I regularly played a game.

If this isn't a real thing, it should be. I no longer want to live in a world where this does not exist.

That made me chuckle out loud.
