The World of Warcraft updater uses BitTorrent to help distribute their patches. Maybe not legitimate from an academic standpoint, but virtually essential if you ask people in Residential Life.

We will allow legitimate P2P traffic and so far the only P2Ptraffic 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 encounteredthem 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? _________________ Brian L Cox Information Technology Services Assistant Director of Network Services University of Nebraska Kearney (308)865-8176 From: "Hudson, Edward" <ewhudson () CSUCHICO EDU> To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Date: 11/28/2011 05:47 PM Subject: [SECURITY] DMCA Sent by: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> 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.
