<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Greg,<br>
<br>
I asked our district's network admin about this, and he gave some useful
information. Like Multnomah, we have the boilerplate agreement to which wired
and wireless users alike must agree before proceeding (i.e. don't use our
computers for illegal stuff). On our wired computers, we've "hidden"
access to the bittorrent client, although it does launch if a patron opens a
torrent file via the browser.<br>
<br>
Our main technique for controlling it, though, is that we throttle incoming and
outgoing connections from popular bittorrent and other P2P ports, so they don't
draw a lot of overall bandwidth. We use an open source firewall program called
pfSense ( <a href="http://www.pfsense.com/">http://www.pfsense.com/</a>).<br>
<br>
Caveat: all of our public computers, most of our servers, and many of our staff
stations run some flavor of Linux, so your mileage may vary with these
solutions.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
Buzzy<br>

consider it if we could figure out a good way to do it. Aside from
all else, it takes an awful lot of our wireless bandwidth and leaves other
users sometimes unable to do what they need to do. However, our
legal counsel did suggest we add this statement to our Acceptable User of the
Interent rules and our click-thru agreement that all patrons must agree to at
log-in. Our understanding is that from a legal standpoint, we do not
need to be concerned about library/county liability in these
situations. I think the principle is similar to the warnings that we post
a copy machines. This statement comes out of a manual on copyright issues
for libraries which is sitting in my office (and I'm not) so I can't dredge up

<h3>Notice: Warning of Copyright Restrictions <o:p></o:p></h3>
<p>As a patron, your ability to post or link to copyrighted material is
governed by United States copyright law. The library reserves the right to
delete or disable any post or link that, in the judgment of library staff,
violates copyright law. In accordance with 17 USC S 512 (i)(1)(A), the library
may terminate a patron’s access to the system or network for disrespect
of the intellectual property rights of others, or for repeat infringements of
copyright. The library has adopted this policy and will make all reasonable
effort to enforce it in appropriate circumstances.<o:p></o:p></p>

All,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I’d
like to throw out a couple of questions about bittorrent downloading in
Oregon’s libraries. Our own library’s free and open wireless access
sometimes plays host to nefarious copyright scofflaws who download copyrighted
files, leading to threatening legal notices being received by our fair city, as
the owner of the IP range.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Question
#1: Does anyone know what, if any, legal penalties face the library (or the
city) for this activity? I’ve understood it to be something of a gray
area in the recent past. Has that changed?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Question
#2: Are there any technological fixes that can be instituted to stop or
sabotage our moustache-twisting villains? We have our wireless router
broadcasting only when the library is open. Additionally we have our wireless
upload rate choked off, but I’ve been told that the servers can’t
distinguish between bittorrent downloading and ‘regular’
downloading, meaning that there is no effective means to limit bittorrent
downloads without negatively affecting our system as a whole. True? </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Further,
I’m given to understand that although Multnomah County (public) has a
click-through agreement prohibiting illegal activity, bittorrent downloading
still works just fine there. I’d suppose if anyone would have a technical
solution in place, they would.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Any
answers much appreciated. Please copy the list, if possible.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
