Ohio University announces changes in file-sharing policies ATHENS, Ohio (April 25, 2007) - In an effort to ensure that every student, faculty member and researcher has access to the computer resources they need, Ohio University announced today it will restrict the use of all peer-to-peer, or P2P, file-sharing on the campus computer network.
How Orwellian. To ensure that faculty have "access to resources," they're going to keep faculty from using BitTorrent to download those resources. Uh huh. -- Geoff Kuenning geoff () cs hmc edu http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~geoff/ The P in "PDF" is a lie. ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
