While not exactly a policy we encourage responsible usage (disable file
sharing)

We have been getting a lot of requests to issue a "recommended security
statement" on the use of Kazaa - the peer-to-peer application for
sharing
files (music, etc).  Has anyone completed a security statement
(guidelines
of use, policy, etc) related to use of the Kazaa application?  If so, I
would be interested in seeing a copy of the statement (policy,
guidelines,
etc)  documenting the security risks of the application.
