Re: DMCA Notices

How are you blocking Bittorrent when it has some academic uses?  We blocked
it and the faculty revolted, so it’s open again so we use the Net Equalizer
to limit the number of connections in and outbound.



We have the PA 5050 and it will classify (best guess) as to what it thinks
could be flagged by the RIAA, but then again there’s quite a few false
positives.  What do you do when faculty/staff have a legitimate argument to
use torrents?

We had maybe a dozen last year but have not had a single one since we put a
Palo Alto device inline between our internal network and our border devices
and configured a rule to block bittorrent traffic.

A question has come up about DMCA notices in our outside audit.  We know
how many we received in the last fiscal year but the auditors are wondering
about how many other institutions of higher education are receiving on an
annual basis.  If any on you have an annualized number you can share, I
would appreciate it.  If you would like, send it off line.



Thanks.
