Tackling College Piracy: The P2P Quiz

[anon]

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

[anon]

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

Well,yeah Universities have really BIG speeds but in general u have an admin access mode/user profile all the time,so its just used for downloading regular lectures/tutorials thats all !! anyway,good thing we have large packages @ home :tongue:

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

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 :top:

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