We do basic blocking of DHCP scopes from other DHCP scopes using Router Access lists.  It has slowed down virus

        Our college has received Copyright warnings from the Recording Industry concerning what they believe to be 
improper music downloads using 'peer to peer' networks, such as BearShare, BitTorent, LineWire, Gnutella, KaZaA, etc.  
        
        Has anyone implemented a  'peer to peer' Blocking service to address this issue?  Pros and Cons?  Or are there 
other solutions?
        
        
        

        Ability is what you're capable of doing. 
            Motivation determines what you do. 
                Attitude determines how well you do it.
