Educating Users/Students on Reducing Exposure to the RIAA

Posted by Cliff on Thursday May 1, 2003 @06:13PM from the keeping-a-low-profile dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I work for a medium-sized university (25K students), and have been asked to come up with ideas on how to reduce our exposure to the RIAA. Our head of IT gets 50 to 100 emails from the RIAA every week, complaining about IP addresses where P2P applications offer copyrighted songs for download. We don't want to firewall off P2P applications completely, we just want to get the RIAA off our backs. How do other university IT departments educate students to stop attracting the RIAA's attention? Thanks for any war stories you might be able to share !"

Yay lets all encourage leaching... If your are going to download you should cotribute somthing to the network. If everyone decided to not share anything so as to reduse their bandwidthe there would be nothing on any of the P2P networks.
