check if you can find customers who have reported receiving notices in the mail or actions taken on their customer accounts. try to find out what the penalties for violating their policy is.
if they are pretty active, you might be stuck resorting to encrypting all of your traffic, aka a vpn
with that vpn and some minor setup in your torrent client you can avoid all of this. for example in qbittorrent there is an option to "bind to interface" and you set it to bind to your vpn interface, so if the vpn goes down all your torrent traffic shuts down.
i use nord, haven't had a single issue in years, and i have received notices at multiple addresses in the past. thus.. had to get vpn if i wanted to continue safely 😞
Well stated. It's been bothering me all of the people gate-keeping the ability to protest something that EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER is funding. On private universities.. sure I guess that's different, those students gave up their rights when they decided to go to a private uni, but public universities?
I get why universities do it, its a bad faith tactic so upper class administrators can find a reason to lick the boot and launch shock troops.
But commenters on Lemmy? I don't get it.
Student or not, they should be able to protest. But maybe there is just something I haven't thought of yet, I'm open to new opinions on this.
