7.8 Peer to Peer Programs - Use of such programs such as Kazaa, Limewire, eDonkey, etc. to share music and other programs is strongly discouraged.  They are designed to defeat bandwidth management software systems and cause serious issues with our Internet service primarily by opening a large number of ports.  This action can and will slow down the service to other customers.  Any program downloaded to your PC can then be downloaded by anyone else running the program.  Your PC becomes much more vulnerable to Spyware, Viruses and hacking.  Abuse in this area will not be tolerated and we will suspend Internet access to the offending customer without notice if it becomes a nuisance.  

File Sharing Basics: what is file sharing, how users get caught sharing copyrighted content, and how to stop sharing files.

• Digital Media - content stored on a computer hard drive, such as songs, movies, software, video games, pictures and text.
• Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies - distributed systems for sharing files online. Many users of P2P technologies copy and distribute popular songs, movies and other digital media. Much of these media are protected by copyright and many P2P users trade these media without authorization from the copyright holder. The most popular P2P networks are currently eDonkey, Kazaa and BitTorrent.
• Anonymity - users of P2P technologies are not anonymous. Most major music labels and movie studios covertly monitor file sharing activities and record unauthorized file sharing of their content for possible use in complaints and lawsuits. An Internet service provider (ISP) can typically identify an individual user on its network using only the Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address is a unique identifier attached to each computer or access point on a network.
• Super-nodes - these nodes or "hubs" are computers connected to P2P networks that distribute thousands to millions of songs to other P2P users. A number of content owners have filed lawsuits against many P2P users that own computers serving as super nodes.
• Disabling File Sharing Features - some P2P users may not know they are sharing files. P2P users that disable file sharing features may still be sharing their files if their software has a glitch or their computer is infected with certain viruses or Trojan horses.
• How to Stop File Sharing - avoid the dangers of file sharing by uninstalling P2P programs on your computer. Run your antivirus and anti-spyware software (make sure you've downloaded and applied the most recent updates).
