USC To Students: No Sharing Files

In an e-mail message to all students, school officials warned that using peer-to-peer file-trading services could force the university to kick students off the network. '"
>Not with the University's resources. Get yer own DSL.
That's strange. I thought Universities were public resources, meaning the public owns them.
Why can't he do what he wants (within the law) with not only what he already owns (publically) but what he pays a premium for (privately)?
>Amazing, but that's how it'll work in the "real world" too, someday!
You know what, I was once with a co-op ISP, meaning it was partly owned by the public, like a university. It wasn't the best experience (always busy) but if they stopped me from downloading or uploading anything I'd be getting my money back.
