Howdy!

My understanding of Microsoft's Share Point companion, Groove, is that it is mostly a P2P platform.  As to the 
legitimacy of the product...well, it's Microsoft, right?

Ed,

We block P2P traffic.  When we identify a new P2P application being used by a student we block their access to the 
network and require them to call and set up an appointment with our CIO before their access is restored. That 
application is then added to the default blocking list  This may seem a bit harsh but it has resulted in only 2 notices 
sent to us so far this year.  We will allow legitimate P2P traffic and so far the only P2P traffic allowed is for those 
using games that require P2P for updates etc.  We have yet to have anyone come forward with a legitimate educational 
use for P2P.   I am sure those applications exist, but we have not encountered them so far.   This brings up a second 
part to this question....what, if any, legitimate P2P applications have been identified being used on college campuses?

Hi All,
Polling to see how other campuses are handling DMCA take down notices. Ours has risen to a level current process is not 
working efficiently. We are hearing some universities are:
1) Ignoring notices from copyright holders
2) Outright blocking of file sharing as "95% are used for nefarious purposes"
Interested to see how other institutions are addressing.
Thanks
Ed
