P2P File Sharing: A 360° Perspective
Is the recording industry drowning in a flood of pirated downloads or swimming in cash from P2P inspired sales? Will file sharing be the industry's destruction or its salvation? Should universities be suppressing or encouraging these trends?
View the archived video stream from our October 30, 2007 forum for a
360 degree look at the issues surrounding peer-to-peer file sharing.

Ohio University currently restricts illegal peer-to-peer (P2P) file
sharing on our campus network. You still may use P2P technologies for
legitimate purposes like gaming, open source downloads, and licensed
distribution of media files; however, using P2P software to violate
copyright law carries a number of possible sanctions, including loss of
Internet access, referral to the appropriate internal disciplinary
process, and even civil or criminal charges.
