File Sharing Network Closed on Another Campus

Ohio State University (OSU) has shut-down dormitory-based computers running a network used to share music files with 3,000 students. The students were using a legal P2P file sharing application called Direct Connect. From the OSU student newspaper, the Latern, Raid pulls plug on illegal network, which states, “A group consisting of a computer crime specialist, a detective and a university police officer went to each four residence hall rooms Monday night – armed with search warrants – looking for the evidence.”
