Excerpt on how folks figured out that if you use a different proxy, university censorship goes away. The correct solution, of course, is to throttle consumption based on bandwidth, not content of the b/w. Assuming the university is not lying about their intent in filtering. [The same objection goes for those ISPs who contractually disallow 'servers' in their always-on networks but let dingleberries download streaming video ad nauseum.] http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/cn/20000203/tc/20000203135.html "There is a pipe going from the student's computer out to the other computers on the Net, and the university can put a filter on this pipe," Weekly said, describing how colleges are blocking Napster. "The way that you get around that is to get out of the local network." Weekly's plan will only be helpful to those running Linux and Unix operating systems, but Mac and Windows users can get around the blocks, too, he said. Students must take only a few steps to gain access to a proxy server outside of their universities, which a friend at another school can help them access. Then the banned students can use the remote server as a middleman for getting into Napster.
