London – Britain’s Oxford University has banned students
from using the streaming music service Spotify, having classified it as a
peer-to-peer application and thus prohibited on campus networks, The Register
reported, citing student paper Cherwell. The Register notes that Spotify’s use
of peer-to-peer technology is actually intended to reduce the bandwidth load on
service providers, by caching songs locally on users’ computers rather than
delivering many individual streams of the same track from a single, central
source.
