Ohio University announces changes in file-sharing policies ATHENS,
Ohio (April 25, 2007) - In an effort to ensure that every student,
faculty member and researcher has access to the computer resources
they need, Ohio University announced today it will restrict the use
of all peer-to-peer, or P2P, file-sharing on the campus computer
network.


How Orwellian.  To ensure that faculty have "access to resources,"
they're going to keep faculty from using BitTorrent to download those
resources.  Uh huh.
