I do not understand this thread. It is obvious that TAU does not want
you to circumvent<br>
it's access protection. Even if this was possible, why would you do it
? If you're pissed<br>
that it doesn't work well with Linux, and you are a TAU student/staff
member, contact<br>
the TAU helpdesk, and open a ticket on the subject, and request they
find a suitable<br>
solution for you.<br>
<br>
That said, as TAUs CISO I am <b>telling</b> you that we are interested
to see our staff<br>
and students access our protected data in the proper way, and that any
other person<br>
is kept out. <br>

Until we enforced this, many students sites not affiliated with TAU have<br>
published direct <a>mms://</a> links to our content, which became available to
anyone, anywhere,<br>
regardless of being affiliated with TAU or not, and thus infringing on
our copyrights, on<br>
our academic staff copyrights, and also on Film studios copyright for
some of our material.<br>
<br>
If a staff member or student has a problem, we can find solutions via
our internal means of <br>
doing so, and not via asking Linux-IL how to circumvent us.<br>
