hack the Internet

A tongue-in-cheek phrase used by non-technical users to describe a way of getting more out of the Internet than typically allowed by the ubiquitous hobbling, trial periods, deliberate limitations and otherwise malevolent crippling of software for unwarranted or undeserved commercial gain.

"Last night we figured out a way to hack the Internet good when we used Skype and MSN together for free multi-party videoconferencing."
