After receiving the highest number of notices from the RIAA about P2P file sharing, Ohio University has announced a policy that restricts all file sharing on the campus network. Some file-sharing programs that could trigger action are Ares, Azureus, BitTorrent, BitLord, KaZaA, LimeWire, Shareaza and uTorrent. Claiming that this effort is "to ensure that every student, faculty member and researcher has access to the computer resources they need," is this another nail in the coffin of internet freedom in American universities or a needed step to prevent illegal file sharing?
