FW: Torrents and public PCs

[Alan Boyd]

Our campus networking staff block an individual's peer to peer access for
the remainder of a given academic year when we receive a proper DMCA
notice.  This has cut way down on the number of notices we've received over
the past 5 years or so.  Not necessarily a public library solution
though....
