DALnet channels for chat, not files


DALnet will be enforcing a change to its Acceptable Use Policy (www.dal.net) which will prohibit "Using a channel for the primary purpose of facilitating the transfer of files".

DALnet is by its very nature a Chat Network. Its purpose is for people around the world to join together in channels and converse about subjects of their choosing. New technologies have sprung forth since the birth of DALnet back in 1994. Programs such as Kazaa and Napster have generated a desire for Internet users to freely transfer files. They have also generated a large amount of controversy regarding the legality of doing so. DALnet is not, nor does it wish to be thought of as, a file sharing network.
