The university and Information Technology Services are taking precautions to hinder and slow down file sharing. “ITS, in partnership with Housing and Dining Services, is doing its part in educating students about ills of file sharing and the deleterious effects it has on the network,” said Chat Chatterji, an ITS vice president. The music industry sued 261 people Monday for swapping. ITS and housing services have posted flyers in labs and dorms and have asked Resident Assistants to spread the word, said Chatterji. The posters state warnings about file sharing. Mark Hudson, director of Housing and Dining, said many students don’t know they are file sharing. Many people using music file sharing programs don’t read the policy and just click the ‘I accept’ button. DAILY EASTERN NEWS PHOTO BY STEPHEN HAAS File sharing slows down the network, Hudson said. Beth Fehrenbacher, senior at Charleston High School, shops for new music at Positively 4th Street Records Wednesday night. Record sales are down because of online file sharing programs.
