I don't think there's any risk of being 'caught' by the uni. I have never known anyone being caught for misuse of a computer. I mean, there's about 30,000 students and 10,000 staff at my uni. I don't think they scrutinise what we look at unless we are suspected or reported for something.
No, not scrutinise. But you'd think they could easily flag up visits to well known sites movie streaming sites and map them onto usernames. I guess they just aren't bothered or they'd have blocked 'em anyway.
Yeah, I think they are not bothered. Maybe we need to stream movies to use in lectures, maybe we are looking for anecdotes, maybe we are having a social gathering with our students... there's endless legitimate reasons why we could be looking at stuff that might seem inappropriate for our job role, but isn't, so I think they just leave us to get on with it.
