Im in college right now and I dont know how the TOS for freebie sites work. We are all on one big internet connection on campus but we each have different Ip's. would that be fine for most freebie sites? my roomates wanna get on in this

go to each computer which you think has a different IP and go to www.whatismyip.com. If they are all different, then you are all right. If not, then you have to contact the site owners ahead of time.

Let me just say I've never had a trouble, and I've completed multiple free4me sites and Trainn sites at college.

Same here. I just make sure my roommates don't do freesites.

Most sites by now lishouldli be able to detect shared connections from different PC's, particularly those coming from .eduurl==http://=http:///url domains and such. However unless you know for certain a site is okay with it, you should contact them first to confirm.

As college students are probably the single biggest demographic that freebie sites cater to, it's in their best interests to update their fraud detection to allow signups from college campuses.

Are you talking about just your roomate or other people on your floor?

Does anyone know Trainn's policy?

Just in my room. I've gotten some people to do it on my floor and they've worked....I think....(don't hold me to it).
