A file can not be illegal per se, so you won't be able to detect these by lo= oking up names or contents. Even then, if a file is labeled as personal, privacy protection applies and i= t is *unlawful* for you to process it. (That is in the same way that your employer is strictly forbidden from peeki= ng inside your email messages clearly labeled as personal, even if they were= received on your work mailbox.) You may however force the user to delete it as it's got nothing to do on a w= ork file server and is possibly forbidden by your IT policy. You may also delete it yourself in accordance with your TOS / IT policy but y= ou should exercise this with care and get a written request from your boss b= eforehand. You may want to look for files that are unusually large. They could possibly be ISOs, dvdrips, HD movie dumps... Note that, again, just because a file exists and is a certain type doesn't m= ake them illegal. I myself have several ISOs at work including dumps of our windows XP CDs, wi= n7 upgrade disks, and specialised lawyer software. We have the same problem here with users sharing movies on the file servers,= and what makes it worse is some of their movie files are legit because they= 're, for example, official trailers that are reworked and redistributed to o= ur customers. You won't win this, tell your boss it can not be done. Out of curiosity what kind of copyright infringement notice did you guys rec= eive ? Are the files served to the public ?=
