With FTP you could MITM downloads and send malacious data. Imagine downloading an ubuntu iso from an open FTP server and your upstream free wifi service was actually serving up a trojaned ubuntu iso to you. YOU WOULD HAVE NO IDEA.

PASV would like to have a word with you

this is literally just for giggles because when you signed on that dotted line to get into school you signed an agreement which nullifies the CC license. also folks who plagurize from stackoverflow never cite sources could find themselves in hot water for failing to follow the signed agreement. so while your hate is valid, it is simply misplaced on the scale. your beef is with legal, who came up with the agreement which allows for the school to use your work as they see fit (including the TOS of third-party services they use)
