TL;DR, the P2P software is: http://aresgalaxy.sourceforge.net/

<http://aresgalaxy.sourceforge.net/>Interesting quoted responses from the
students though: mainly logical fallacies as arguments, unfortunately, which
won't hold up against current copyright (more unfortunately). Also, there's
no mention of students using this software for legal file sharing anywhere
in the article, which I assume is the most atrocious part, if they're
reporting every student using it, or just filtering the ones sharing
specific files, or what.

*These penalties are being met with harsh words from students.*

* Elizabeth Rugen, sophomore Spanish major,  was adamant in her opinion that
to call music downloads from LimeWire or FrostWire “illegal” is attacking
only one branch of the tree.*

*  “People can also download books, and nobody cares if people use
copyrighted pictures for their wallpapers, because it’s so easy,” she said.*

* Ben Skender, junior  mass media major, agreed with Rugen’s opinion and
didn’t see the problem with downloading at all.*

*  “The means of acquiring it may not be right,” he said, “but if you’re
just listening to the music and not selling bootleg album copies, then why
is there a problem?”*
