  • The New England College of Optometry Peer to Peer (P2P) Policy
    The New England College of Optometry Peer To Peer (P2P) Policy Created in Compliance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Requirements Overview: Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing applications are used to connect a computer directly to other computers in order to transfer files between the systems. Sometimes these applications are used to transfer copyrighted materials such as music and movies. Examples of P2P applications are BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule, Ares Galaxy, Megaupload, Azureus, PPStream, Pando, Ares, Fileguri, Kugoo. Of these applications, BitTorrent has value in the scientific community. For purposes of this policy, The New England College of Optometry (College) refers to the College and its affiliate New England Eye Institute, Inc. Compliance: In order to comply with both the intent of the College’s Copyright Policy, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and with the Higher Education Opportunity Act’s (HEOA) file sharing requirements, all P2P file sharing applications are to be blocked at the firewall to prevent illegal downloading as well as to preserve the network bandwidth so that the College internet access is neither compromised nor diminished. Starting in September 2010, the College IT Department will block all well-known P2P ports on the firewall at the application level. If your work requires the use of BitTorrent or another program, an exception may be made as outlined below. The College will audit network usage/activity reports to determine if there is unauthorized P2P activity; the IT Department does random spot checks for new P2P programs every 72 hours and immediately blocks new and emerging P2P networks at the firewall.

Though there are plenty of other voice and video chat offerings available for computers and smartphones, AV is unlike many with its decision to eschew both logins and software downloads. In order to start a chat, a user gets a unique link from AV and sends it to friends. Once a friend with a webcam clicks on the link, a chat window will pop up on the screen and show live video of the user who started the chat session and any other participants. Up to four people can be involved in a chat at once, Shellen said. The service has several features, such as the ability to type messages to individual users while video chatting - to send a link to a webpage, for example.

  • You Are Not Welcome Among Us: Pirates and the State
    International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 890–908 1932–8036/20150005 You Are Not Welcome Among Us: Pirates and the State JESSICA L. BEYER University of Washington, USA FENWICK MCKELVEY1 Concordia University, Canada In a historical review focused on digital piracy, we explore the relationship between hacker politics and the state. We distinguish between two core aspects of piracy—the challenge to property rights and the challenge to state power—and argue that digital piracy should be considered more broadly as a challenge to the authority of the state. We trace generations of peer-to-peer networking, showing that digital piracy is a key component in the development of a political platform that advocates for a set of ideals grounded in collaborative culture, nonhierarchical organization, and a reliance on the network. We assert that this politics expresses itself in a philosophy that was formed together with the development of the state-evading forms of communication that perpetuate unmanageable networks. Keywords: pirates, information politics, intellectual property, state networks Introduction Digital piracy is most frequently framed as a challenge to property rights or as theft. This framing is not incorrect, but it overemphasizes intellectual property regimes and, in doing so, underemphasizes the broader political challenge posed by digital pirates. In fact, digital pirates and broader “hacker culture” are part of a political challenge to the state, as well as a challenge to property rights regimes. This challenge is articulated in terms of contributory culture, in contrast to the commodification and enclosures of capitalist culture; as nonhierarchical, in contrast to the strict hierarchies of the modern state; and as faith in the potential of a seemingly uncontrollable communication technology that makes all of this possible, in contrast to a fear of the potential chaos that unsurveilled spaces can bring.

  • Computer-Supported Cooperative Work: History and Focus
    Computer-Supported Cooperative Work: Historv and Focus d Jonathan Grudin, University of California, Irvine en years ago, hen Greif of MIT and Paul Cashman of Digital Equipment Corporation organized a workshop that had far-reaching effects. Twenty people from different fields -but with a shared interest in how people work -gathered to explore technology’s role in the work environment and coined the term “computer-supported cooperative work” to describe it. Since then, thousands of researchers and developers have responded to this ini- tiative. Although the first CSCW conferences were held in the United States, the topic was picked up immediately in Europe and Asia, where related work and seri- ous interest already existed. This article describes the people and the work found under the CSCW umbrella. Why i984? An earlier approach to group support, called “office automation,” had run out of steam by 1984. OA’s primary problem was not technical, although technical chal- lenges certainly existed; it was in understanding system requirements. In the mid- CSCW and groupware 1960s, tasks such as filling seats on airplane flights or printing payroll checks had emerged in the 1980s been translated into requirements that resulted (with some trial and error) in suc- cessful mainframe systems. In the mid-l970s, minicomputers promised to support from shared interests groups and organizations in more sophisticated, interactive ways, and OA was born. OA tried to extend and integrate single-user applications, such as word processors and among product spreadsheets, to support groups and departments. But what were the precise re- developers and quirements for such systems? Building technology was not enough.
