One of the most challenging issues that hits an Security Manager is the plethora of MP3 music and video that exists within the intranet… on desktops of individuals and the inability to check the validity of the licenses.
Developers in particular love to have thier collection of music which tbey want to hear whenever they want to concentrate.
Most of this music is likely to be ripped of different sources / downloaded from the net / through P2P connections.
Approach to music companies for site licenses mostly draws a blank. There is then the interpretation that an organisation can be defined as a family…. and you can share music within the family…. so buy one authorised media and share it all around…..
Does anyone have any experience on this… how does one tackel this problem.. After all to develop quality software the developers need to be at peace…
