Software Identifies And Then Kills P2p Apps

Hope there's someone as smartarse as this guy was - They'd be the ones to break through the system or find its vulnerabilities. After all, college students (when sober ) can be some of the most ingenious and morally volatile people in this age

If there isn't - Just beat the shit out of him or frame him for something to get kicked out. What's so hard about that

Yea... like he will ever have a girlfriend. It's porn and blow-up dolls for the rest of his life.

How exactly does his system distinguish between music/films and educational things that the university students may need to download? For example, I have downloaded several e-books which help with my studies. Does the filter system block those as well?
I think that would be really nasty if it did, as important things could get blocked.

i bet it works by ports used and packet headers. it will not look at content im guessing as this would be a real pain. what make you think the ebooks you downloaded were legal even if they did help your studies.

i like this idea in principle. these students are there to learn not to steal, if they wanna share music use the internal network, if it is designed properly then it should be more then capable of handling as much music swapping as the students can throw at it for no extra cost.

when many students are hosing the wan bandwidth of the uni then this will cost them in the long run. imagine $100,000 worth of extra computer equipement in your university and all you have to do is cut back your p2p use.

It seems strange for you to say this, considering you are a senior (5 star) member.

I think it could have a bad impact on freedom of information.

good point students should be allowed every oppurtunity to learn and freedom of information is a major part of this. but in truth how much public domain information is there on kazaa that cant be found with google. im guessing not alot.

I do partake in sharing at home not at university. even though that 3megs a second download is very tempting it would be stupid of me to steal bandwidth of my university in this way.

Luckily I have never lived on campus anyway, so I've always been free to do what I want at home!!
