I don't think it warrants a firing up front... at least warn him about it... if you don't want to confront him, just send a mass mail around indicating excessive use of bandwidth such as file sharing, etc. is prohibited... blah blah such action will result in ____.

a lot of anime downloads through bittorrent (hell, almost all of them) are legal downloads because they are not licensed. or at least, that's my impression of the licensing procedures.

Not prosecuted does not mean legal. Companies might turn a blind eye to some fansub distribution but it's still copyright infringement, hence not a good activity to allow using company equipment.

You've probably seen nothing but Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon. The stuff they show on Cartoon Network isn't real anime (well, except for Cowboy Bebop, but they edit it anyway). Try watching some Planetes or Azumanga Daioh. Also, pull the stick out of your butt.

One warning. Second time, he's toast.

 

[VTEC01EX]

Subscribe to Tech TV.. every time I turn that channel on it's anime! Which causes me to surf right past, but some of you might be into it.

Don't fire him until he starts installing distributed computing clients on all the machines.

:evil:

Exactly. Tell him he has two choices: Stop downloading and continue working for your company. Or, get fired.

 

[SaigonK]

Does he work for you? If not dont mess with him, let his boss do it.
And what do you care?

Same here


Sysadmin

 

[FoBoT]

fire him

 

[dc]

give him a warning or tell him to install netlimiter or some bw limiting software.
and as long as the anime is unlicensed, there's pretty much no chance some company in japan is going to go after you.

oh yeah, and give us the name of his anime files. want to see what he's downloading. heh.

 

[Zombie]

eh, just tell him to turn it off.
