This week's poll question looks at the use of P2P file sharing software on corporate networks. You can also take this opportunity to see the final results from last week's Wi-Fi poaching poll, and see what other interesting discussions are taking place on our message board.
 
 In the Spotlight
Is It Wrong to Download P2P Files Over Corporate Networks?
Some organizations prohibit the use of P2P file sharing software on their networks, while some may permit "reasonable personal use." After all, they own the equipment and pay for the Net connection. Company policies aside, do you feel it is ethically wrong to download P2P at work, or is it okay? Weigh in.
