Would you say the same of Comcast? When it is the only ISP serving the apartment you just signed a lease on?
Because that is basically the position of an undergrad in university housing with respect to "their network." You could say they had a choice not to go to that school, but for a state school system?
On a network engineering level, something is deeply wrong if you can't separate internet access from access to sensitive resources. Or if you are treating a subnet which includes tens of thousands of students as "trusted."

Or if you are treating a subnet which includes tens of thousands of students as "trusted." I don't disagree with you. And I hate that I only have one choice of ISP. I'm sure they were able to separate internet access from sensitive resources. But without forcing their users to install some piece of shit tracking software, how would they know who to forward letters to from the MPAA? ;)
