People shouldn't share from college computers any way. You should only do it with your home computer where you pay the IP yourself. Of course you could just put it on your laptop and then hang around an area that has wireless (provided either by a college or a city). Then it's REALLY hard to detect who's doing what. I'll bet the RIAA is quite nervous about the current proliferation of wireless service. How do you "catch" a moving target jumping from wireless to wireless? But what these students need to point out to their administrators is that file sharing software itself is NOT illegal just like a shovel is not illegal. It's what you do with it that might be illegal. Sharing non-copyrighted files is perfectly o.k. Sharing copyrighted file is not (I don't agree...that's just the current law). Digging a hole with the shovel is o.k. Hitting someone over the head with it is not. But many schools ban certain software. This is unfair and arbitrary. It's a violation of educational freedom. One may use this software for many purposes other than sharing copyrighted files. At my school I was told that Firefox was not allowed. I told them to go fuck themselves. But I'm a teacher so they backed down. Students may have it more difficult. But they should stand up and defend their right to use the software that they please.

Secondly outlaw Firefox? They should THANK YOU for using as it 's making their network that much more secure. Lastly it appears its not the mere presence of the software itself the article notes: "Letters concerning the illegal downloads the content of the downloads and which peer-to-peer networks were used in the process were sent to the Information Technology Group at KSC." If these kids were smart thought they'd either set up an FTP system for them all to use or just use AllPeers for Firefox and then just keep both invite only. Also I wonder what P2P methods these guys were using bet you a hundred bucks it's Limewire Gnutella or some other fast track BS. That and its most likely the speeds of either UL or DL that they are looking for and detecting. Rechecked on Google and you’re right it is NH…..not sure where I saw VT oh well they’re neighbors… :)
