well if they found anything inside UNSW, what do think will happen....
lawsuit i presume?

 

[sunny]

Probably warning to remove it etc etc....

The grounds would obviously UNSW can't police all their traffic, not to mention the privacy issues involved in policing it.

 

[Majesty]

You UNSW people are very norti.

 

[sunny]

From what I hear, they'd probably find alot more at usyd

They have a wireless network yes,
but for computers hooked to the UNSW servers, its some very fast connection - faster than Cable/ADSL you'd get at home
Let's just say many people abuse bandwith..

You must also remember though that UNSW can see anything you do while logged onto their network, as with any other Institutional Networks. The SAs at UNSW, along with those at UTS and USyd can block any student account if they believe the student is abusing their network privileges. This includes, but is not limited to, chat programs (MSN, ICQ etc), Peer to Peer Networking programs (KaZaA etc) websites with illegal content ("Hot to build a bomb" etc) and anything else against their usage policy.

What was the raid like? take away computers or just search for files?

or even.. mass public stripsearch for mp3s?

 

[overwhelming]

As long as there is no DISTRIBUTION of illegal content, then they cannot sue for crap.

Plus, at CSE you can download all the Windows and other MS software all for free....legally! Not exactly music...but still free software.
