Comment A student from CMU would liek to say something (Score 1) 523

*AHEM* let me clear my throat. All cmu students received an official e-mail telling us what has happened with this network sweep. Yes they did guess some passwords, butthey only guessed some very obvious ones (like CMU, and MP3, and anonymous or the name of the folder), and they got busted if they had the passwrod posted on the network. I do not see this as an invasion of privacy, because stupid idiots that make obvious passwords, and post their passords on the netowrk, deserve to get their network privilages taken away. Lets not make computing services out to be evil here. First of all, the only reason they did this was because they had the RIAA breathign down their backs. I have met the head of computing services, he is a really cool guy, and he did not want to do this. Second of all, they are giving back the network access after a while. So take it from a CMU student, when I say, what they did was perfectly legit, and people should not have problems with this
