I had the exact same thing happen. I found out a relatively simple way to completely bypass the schools security software and brought it to the attention of the school's network admin. Her response? "Oh.. umm... Well, we were obviously already aware of that and have been working to fix it. You realize I could have you suspended from school and possibly press legal charges, right?" Needless to say, before leaving my senior year, I disabled the security on a dozen or so computers in the library.
At the speed that DRM's are worked around, this is just going to make recording your favorite HDTV shows that much easier. Although, it would be nice to be able to watch high quality cable on my computer. This is just bringing the computer and television closer and closer.
