Re: Block P2P or be Sued
said by superdog  :Maybe I am just using this as an excuse to punish bandwidth hogs?. While I do really have a problem with theft, I guess since I can't prove it, I should probably shut up and go away?. I think that if you control the bandwidth hogs, you will "catch" most of the "illegal evil-doers"...!

said by cmaenginsb :Since P2P traffic by itself is completely legal, it is fine to assume that this person is downloading linux or other open source software etc. As to informing RIAA/law enforcement, if you found one of your members exchanging kiddie porn you probably wouldn't hesitate to inform LE, so why have a double standard? Also note I never said RIAA, it's not my job to work with a private entity who has no stake in my network. Unless supeoned I would only inform LE and the customer. I suppose You are correct?. I didn't mean to ruffle Your feathers either(Maybe I didn't? ). I also don't care to see what my customers are doing, I guess my main problem is the bandwidth hogs that do this?. Maybe I am just using this as an excuse to punish bandwidth hogs?. While I do really have a problem with theft, I guess since I can't prove it, I should probably shut up and go away?.

Tim, it's splitting fine hairs here but as long as I do not actually look at the traffic it doesn't matter what I suspect it is, I can't prove it so I'm not going to do anything about it.
Since P2P traffic by itself is completely legal, it is fine to assume that this person is downloading linux or other open source software etc. Even looking at the packets with a typical protocol analyizer won't tell you the real payload so you still can't prove anything.
As to informing RIAA/law enforcement, if you found one of your members exchanging kiddie porn you probably wouldn't hesitate to inform LE, so why have a double standard?
