We have.  It’s a great tool, but we didn’t take full advantage of the sanctioning. Of course we won’t be renewing it 
since we implemented the block on the perimeter.

Has anyone used CopySense from AudioMagic. I have deployed it, last year, on the student network and the results were 
very interesting. We used it as a tutorial when an infringement is detected and sanctions were applied to the users 
with more the 2 infringements. They have a new product for wireless network too. The negative side is its the price.

We have our 5060 tied in to AD and do just that. We had the same experience as Richard: No DMCA complaints since 
implementing Palo and blocking bittorrent. There was no outcry when we blocked bittorrent but we were already 
rate-limiting bittorrent and making individual exceptions for faculty and staff. The Palo has enhanced this service as 
before implementation we made exceptions based on IP address, which was limited to a given workstation. The Palo and AD 
allow us to grant exemptions by userid so that it works anywhere within our address space for that individual.

Doesn't the PA5050 have the ability to tie into active directory?  One thought I've had was to use that functionality 
and make exceptions for bittorrent after having faculty go through an exception process.  Mind you, I do not have a PA, 
but after a few presentations, my team and I have brainstormed such a scenario to help.  Not sure how viable this 
option is, but in theory it seems do-able.

How are you blocking Bittorrent when it has some academic uses?  We blocked it and the faculty revolted, so it’s open 
again so we use the Net Equalizer to limit the number of connections in and outbound.

We have the PA 5050 and it will classify (best guess) as to what it thinks could be flagged by the RIAA, but then again 
there’s quite a few false positives.  What do you do when faculty/staff have a legitimate argument to use torrents?

We had maybe a dozen last year but have not had a single one since we put a Palo Alto device inline between our 
internal network and our border devices and configured a rule to block bittorrent traffic.

A question has come up about DMCA notices in our outside audit.  We know how many we received in the last fiscal year 
but the auditors are wondering about how many other institutions of higher education are receiving on an annual basis.  
If any on you have an annualized number you can share, I would appreciate it.  If you would like, send it off line.

Thanks.
