We all had a good little chuckle when Firefox took Antarctica by storm,
capturing 100% of the web browser market share. Today the news is not so rosy
for bittorrent and peer-to-peer supporters.
The U.S. Antarctic Program has banned their use. From the official communique
from the USAP's director of IT and communications:
There are many different Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications: BitTorrent,
LimeWire, Gnutella, and KaZaa to name a few more popular ones. Some are used
to download legitimate software and media, some illegitimate. None of them
are permitted on the USAP enterprise network for both bandwidth and security
concerns. P2P applications have the potential to overwhelm the internet
connections on the Ice and inadvertently bring malicious software and traffic
into the network.
An unhappy USAP employee wrote FreakBits "The gist I got from it was 'because
you are all too dumb to use a computer correctly.' At least the plans for my
secret uranium mine won't leak out while I'm down here freezing my ass off."
We went poking around the icy continent to see what other Antarcticans
thought about the policy.
One penguin speaking on the condition of anonymity told us, "Hey, there are
plenty of legitimate uses for bittorrent. It's going to take forever for our
Linux group to download new distros now." He added, "We're not all trying to
download episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County like Professor
Opposable Thumbs over there."
And he's right. He stinks like greasy fish, but he's right. Bittorrent and
peer-to-peer apps aren't the problem. It's inappropriate use and carelessness
that's the problem.
The penguins plan on staging a protest later this month, though they refused
to announce any details at this point. "We don't want to jeopardize the
operation," said our source.
