 The figures obtained through the Freedom of Information 
Act by the student   newspaper The Tab uncover that University College 
London computers accessed   Porn Hub a whopping 125,000 times in August.
 STAFF at a top London university visited online pornographic sites 
more than   5,000 times a day during the summer months, new data 
reveals.Between five and 10 per cent of the viewing figures were 
individual visitors   because most hits are people viewing different 
pages on the same website,   say industry experts.This means that 
between 6,250 and 12,000 university staff and delegates   browsed the 
free site throughout August.Other sites, including Redtube and 
LiveJasmin, were visited in July and August   up to 3,200 and 27 times, 
respectively. The
 figures record hits using the UCL network, which is used by staff and  
 delegates staying on the University campus during summer months.The 
free erotic fiction site Literotica was also viewed by staff and 
visitors.The UCL Acceptable User Policy says the network is only to be 
used if
 "properly   associated with the UCL programme of study or course for 
which a student is   registered - and reasonable personal use".<br />

 "Reasonable personal   use
 is defined as incidental andoccasional use which does not involve   
accessing, downloading, storing or sending offensive or inappropriate   
material or information, or is such as to amount to a criminal or civil 
  offence."UCL press office said: "The figures provided were for individual 'data   requests' to the websites."A
 visit to a single webpage is likely to generate many such requests,   
often dozens. Therefore the actual number of visitors to any website 
will be   a tiny fraction of the overall number of data requests 
recorded. ""Illegal content, especially as defined by the Internet Watch Foundation,   is blocked upstream at JANET."JANET
 is the acronym for the Joint Academic Network which provides network   
connections for universities and schools and the internet. "Although the AUP states that inappropriate material 
may not be accessed   or downloaded, we do not have any outbound 
filtering in place - i.e. we log   such access but do not block any 
legal content.
