Here at OSU we try very hard to maintain the "free communication of ideas", but that can only happen when the network is stable and available. What we found is that illegal music-sharing was using up 90%+ of our bandwidth, effectively preventing the free communication of ideas via other methods. So, we shape our traffic and impose bandwidth restrictions on the students living in dorms. There has to be a balance.
