“Encrypted and anonymous file-sharing programs like Filetopia can be a real problem for colleges trying to prevent students from inappropriate file sharing,” commented Lewry. “For example, Filetopia uses a ‘bouncer’ to hide the IP addresses so the connection can’t be traced. This can make it difficult to find the students who are using the program.”
