[committee] Fwd: FW: Notice ID: 214-3162539 Notice of Unauthorized Use of Metro Goldwyn Mayer Property

[Jeremy Cole]

We can't actually do much about this, short of locking ugg and then saying
stop torrenting off UCC's network we cant actually block encrypted
torrenting. I know this will be killed because its Sam Spencer's idea, but
why don't we set up a radius server for UGG (he can go into the technical
ideas behind this) as this prevents any problems with people outside of UCC
accessing our networks. If this isn't done then this is unstoppable as we
can still lock it down (via WEP or WPA) but all it requires is one person to
leak the password and then its back to square one. People will protect their
current user access if we can track WHO creates traffic.
I will bring this up at the (already busy) committee meeting as if this isnt
actioned the ssoner or later ITS may act against us.
