"Today I received a letter from my university's network administration advising me that my network access would be terminated due to 'illegal P2P activity.' What university? Were you trading any copyrighted material? (You can plead the 5th, but it does make a major difference in the administration's argument!) ...The P2P activity that the e-mail cited was BitTorrent and the file being transferred was an update to the Azureus BitTorrent client. The letter stated, 'Until the courts decide that student P2P activity is permitted we will continue to block this activity on our network,' implying that BitTorrent is inherently illegal.... This is totally wrong! What about substantial non-infringing use? A technology is currently innocent until presumed guilty. I would write about this to local / student newspapers. And tell Lawrence Lessig, maybe he can help you sue them or something.
