You are expected to comply and renew the lease; why not just do that? What I (hesitantly) suggested is to change the network config to static, not dynamic, at which point you'd have fixed (and stolen?) the IP you were provided. I'm not familiar with a Debian LiveCD system (I have used Knoppix and Ubuntu, both based on debian), so not sure of the details, but presumably /etc/network/interfaces would exist in a RAM filesystem and could be edited as needed. Alternatively, you could probably come up with ifconfig commands to do this more directly.
