We use both the Packeteer and the TippingPoint and block all P2P. We
have not received a DMCA notice for a copyright infringement in over a
year.

Our college has received Copyright warnings from the Recording Industry

Has anyone implemented a  'peer to peer' Blocking service to address
this issue?  Pros and Cons?  Or are there other solutions?
