Exactly, in most cases piracy is a indication of a service problem. It is amazing the number of times I have and have seen others have to pirate a game I already own, just because the DRM-copy fails to function as advertised due to draconian DRM restrictions. Furthermore the pirated copy doesn't require things such as disks in the CD drive which I would rather not have to look for. On the other hand all of the games I have gotten off of Steam, although using Steam's DRM system, I have not had to pirate because their system just works for me.
Whenever a pirated copy is better then the legal copy, there is something wrong with the legal copy.
Exactly, and apparently the students are being better monitored for the study, every time I was bullied in the past it was while no one was watching or around, and I almost never reported it.

I believe the parent was thinking of the incoming FTP port not the outgoing port. This does show however the common problem that the average person does not understand how most of this technology works, and many of them believe that they have secured themselves with steps such as above when in reality all they have done is made themselves feel safer without any actual security in place.
The number of times I have accidently clicked on an ad Download button instead of the actual download button on sites I am not familiar with is astounding. I always have caught on quickly, stopped the incorrect download and then gone looking for the correct one, but as a Comp Sci PhD candidate and computer security practitioner, the fact that it can fool me even for a minute is astounding. Sites really should remove ads that confuse where you should be clicking to download what you came there for.
Exactly, the hashes are the best way to tell the two apart and anyone downloading software from the internet should learn how to check them.
For reference you can find FileZilla's hashes at:

Or to get their yourself go to Download, then click on "Show additional download options" and it will be the last one in the list.
