Is there a law somewhere that says some things must be blocked at school? I still don't understand what the point of it was. I could always easily get around it, and all it did was piss off the people who were doing perfectly legitimate work. Blocking content is another exercise in trying to keep good people honest - it's pointless. If people want blocked content then they will have it, and those that don't want it will get hit by all the crap designed to get the "bad guys". It's a classic case of adverse selection mixed with security theatre. It's just like what happens with copyright piracy and DVDs. Any pirate can get the latest blockbuster in less than 10 minutes with no locks, restrictions, warnings or other bullshit. But "woe is" the person who actually goes out and buys a DVD legitimately. By the time they get home, all they want to do is watch the damn movie and instead they are faced with: > 10 different copyright warnings accusing them of being criminals for legitimately buying the DVD. > Trailers and advertising they can't skip to get the movie they want > A bunch of region restrictions. > Other annoying crap. And in the end, all of this is stopping them from enjoying the media they bloody well paid for in the first place! Talk about stupid.
