Tackling College Piracy: The P2P Quiz

**anon** · 12.08.08, 18:56

Under the College Opportunity and Affordability Act, colleges and universities that get federal funding have to come up with ways to deal with “Campus-based Digital Theft Prevention”. The bill doesn’t give specific methods, and universities can come up with their own methods, as Missouri S&T has done with their P2P quiz.

LOL as I already mentioned before,they just have to cease uploading their personal academic data on PCs

(or may cut off Inet connection,which wont probably happen)

The good thing about university connections is that they have extremely high-bandwidth connections, ideal for P2P ]

But the college's administration gets in trouble if the RIAA and MPAA sees its line has been used to transfer copyrighted stuff, that's why they must have a "zero-tolerance" against P2Pers, or else they're sued about it :|... in the end it's all about money

When nobody's logged on to Windows (login box), in reality a user called SYSTEM is. We can use that to our advantage

(it's a bit hard to get a useful app to start in these cases since you're not supposed to do anything but logging in, but ways exist

)

Btw, System's user profile hive is located at HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT , and his home directory at %windir%\system32\config\systemprofile if some of you want to play around with this trick

(anyway,I reinstalled OS,dont know maybe there was a way to get back in)
