Comment on Restrictions on Downloading and Software by timgdavies

You’ve some very valid arguments.

To restrict downloading and uploading of materials via the web seems bizzare. It reduces computers from useful tools, into mere word processors.

One strong argument is about control and training/management/norms & trust. The telephone on your desk could be used to share confidential information – but few staff abuse that possibility, not because the telephone is controlled to prevent it, but because there are norms they have been made aware of, there is management to pick up any problems, and, fundamentally, there is trust in staff.

Attempts to replace these with ‘code’, or with computer control are almost always counter productive and have many more costs than are forseen.

Happy to help find the literature and evidence on that if useful.

Is there any more info in public about this proposal from the LA?

hi there, I’ve come across your blog when glancing over various websites, and thought it’s going to be a cool idea if you can also share your group’s experiences with us here at the Chinese Civilisation Centre, City University of Hong Kong. I’m a Research Fellow here at the Centre and helping them run this blog:

We’re trying to get more people involved with the blogging – anything relating to Chinese culture or perhaps some cross-cultural issues that you guys may face will do, so please keep in touch and would be cool to hear from you.
