It would be interesting to know whether Ohio University, an agency of the state, is inspecting the content of packets being sent between ordinary citizens in its enforcement activities in this regard.
Any facilities-based Internet provider -- public or private -- is required by CALEA to be able to monitor traffic. And any responsible ISP should be able to monitor his or her network for abuse. Media piracy software (sometimes called "P2P" software by people who wish to conflate it with legitimate software that operates in a peer to peer mode) abuses the network, often without the consent of the userwho installed it. Universities have the right, and in fact an obligation,
to prohibit crimes on campus. And any ISP -- especially a University, where much network abuse occurs -- is therefore fully within its rights to prohibit abuse of the network. --Brett Glass ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
