University obstructs all file-sharing programs
University obstructs all file-sharing programs
Free music will no longer be heard echoing through the rooms of residence halls since the university implemented a program to block all music sharing programs, including Napster, Imesh and Hotline. The program, called Packeteer, was implemented in late September after the university received several complaints from the Sony corporation because students were illegally downloading the new Michael Jackson song, "You Rock My World."
