Because popular peer-to-peer filesharing programs such as KaZaA/Morpheus and
Gnutella slow network performance for everyone, the university has restricted
the bandwidth available for their use. This limitation (equivalent to a T1 line)
applies to both inbound and outbound traffic.
UO student, faculty, and staff also need to remember that all copyright provisions
apply to audio or visual files exchanged over the Internet. Trafficking in copyrighted
material without express permission from the copyright holder is a violation
of the UO's Acceptable Use of Computing Resources and federal law, and
may result in civil or criminal action or university sanctions.
For more information on the UO's acceptable use policy, see http://cc.uoregon.edu/docs/acceptable_use.html If you have questions concerning acceptable use, please contact Jon Miyake. (miyake@darkwing.uoregon.edu, 346-1635).
