What's your DMCA/P2P situation? was: Re: Do you block P2P ?

[Bob Bayn <bob.bayn () USU EDU>]

OK, instead of filling up everybody's inbox with little messages, if anyone wants to send the following info to me, 
I'll post a summary the first of next week:

# of DMCA take-down complaints so far in 2009
# of students 
# of students in on-campus housing
actions taken to block limit or shape P2P traffic
geographic region (I won't report school names unless you want me to, but it's interesting that most of the RIAA's top 
25 schools are in the East and that has always been a curiosity  to me)

I think knowing the size of the schools would be a key item as well.  We have 2,500 resident students, and 11,000 total 
students (who could potentially be using wireless for P2P).  We don't block P2P.  We use the Packetshaper to limit P2P 
bandwidth, and the residence hall network overall during normal business hours.  We have received about 120 DMCA 
complaints per year over the last two years.

well, If we're comparing tallies (which I think is interesting), we've received 4 today and 215 this year.
