Copyright Infringement

The University takes copyright protection very seriously. Many scholars and music artists rely on copyright to protect their intellectual property.

Peer-to-peer file sharing applications are often used to share copyrighted material such as songs, movies, software applications, and games. If you share copyrighted material without permission, you are breaking the law and could be subject to University and/or criminal sanctions. The entertainment industry has pledged to sue individuals who unlawfully share copyrighted material. Residential Computing wants you to have an enjoyable and worry-free experience on the Internet, so please do not violate copyright laws.

Please review our Appropriate Use Policy and be aware of our enforcement procedures.
