Oxford University has taken a swift and fairly drastic measure against IT Company Spotify by banning its usage, stating that it was using too much bandwidth for their networks to handle.
With no warning given, students are understandably rather annoyed.
Finola Holyoak, a first-year student at Lincoln college says “I was shocked when I realised there was a total ban.â€
Given that universities have traditionally been a hotbed of file-sharing (IT Services Company Napster was famously created when Sean Fanning was at college), one might think that Oxford University would want to promote a service that legally allows students to listen to a very large catalogue for free – rather than swapping each other’s MP3 files.
