Re: This will not matter
You mean VPNing through a non-uni relay to hide P2P traffic? |

This is more like a facade than anything, it will have no lasting impact. |

They will just go after those workstations exhibiting massive amounts of traffic. They will get them even if they use encryption to try and hide. Nothing the students do will hide the amount of traffic generated by P2P.

Or is plausible deniability and 4th amendment still legal in USA?
Egh, you can always say your rendering your powerpoint presentation over a cluster with the "RAM" of the CPU being accessed over the internet (plenty of traffic I think). |

Nothing the students do will hide the amount of traffic generated by P2P. ...other than the workstations that legitimately and daily genererate a lot of traffic. Some projects in CS required a lot of number-crunching and data-sharing through the computer networks there. Students tapping into this also generated a ton o' traffic.
I'd hate to see the universities cracking down on Computer Science majors acting well within their rights. |

Just as they don't HAVE to provide you with a network connection either.
