"Peer to peer downloads, proxies and anonymizers are forbidden on this
network. Due to content copyright laws, this network does not allow P2P
activity, including but not limited to: illegal download of movies,
music and software."

I'd either (a) stop doing illegal things or (b) switch to using a network that allows it. Your choice.

If you can't do illegal things, trying to find ways around them makes it even more illegal.. just buy them
