Re: [MLUG] Napster

[EMAIL:PROTECTED]

I don't know too much about this, but basically they just block the Napster 
IP for people who connect to the Internet using the university.

Columbia Public Schools blocks Napster. I was a little disappointed, but I 
guess its for the better because people would be hogging bandwidth.

 MU never goes this far but...
 
 My real question is about how would you enforce a ban on a program like
 this?  Can a university legally sniif out my traffic and see what I'm
 downloading or what people are downloading from my computer?  Or would it
 be more of a traffic monitoring to see how much goes in and out?
 
 I'm not sure about what they can legally do with or without a search
 warrant, so I was wondering if one of the awesome network admins that are
 on this list could possibly shed more technological light on this than the
 Student News could do. >>
