So my database course used a proprietary database hosted on-campus with IP ACLs. I setup a proxy on the campus cluster and mirrored 90% of it before the lecturer turned it off. I don't understand why they would even look, much less care, about policing closed-source documentation like the Stasi. If it happened these days, it would've been an Aaron Swartz situation.
