You really are asking for it.

I don't think you quite understand what happened, they limited the rate at which I can download, they didn't restrict my ability to download. I am unlikely to exceed their cap while I'm running at 56k.

What your tech fee covers would not come close to paying for the line they have. In that sense, you don't have any implicit "right" to decied how to use your connection. It is there for school use. That means research of academic topics, logging into course websites, and using the connection to register for classes. Anything else they are "allowing" you to do.

I'm not quite sure of the distinction you're trying to make here. i have no right in deciding their use, and yet they're "allowing" me to use it for non-academic use, which would mean for academic use, I have the right to them? Again, I'm not sure what you were trying to say, but either way, They do not monitor traffic content. And yes, the amount I pay for what's itemized as tech fees comes nowhere near to the amount the school pays for its internet services, however, when you multiply what I pay by 20,000+ for each of the students who attend here, I think we cover the costs.

You are installing programs known to contain spyware, you are using identified P2P networks, and are implicitly stating that you are in the right. Bad idea, legally and morally.

Again, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "implicitly stating that you are in the right". I completely acknowledge that my actions were outside the bounds of acceptabe behavior as defined by my IT department. That is cut and dried with no room for argument. I'll bitch and moan about those policies, but the fact that i've broken them is immutable. Bad idea legally, yes, so're a lotta things, bad idea morally? don't get me started.

I concur, the IT dept would like baked goods.

No doubt they would, you got any recipes you'd like to share?
