This policy outlines the process that occurs when the University has received a formal complaint by a copyright holder who has submitted evidence that a computer registered in the name of a student, faculty, or staff member who is sharing copyrighted material on the Internet.

    their computer.

    removed from the computer.

 Audit and Compliance

Sharing copyrighted material without the owner's permission is a violation of our various policies on the acceptable use of electronic resources- along with several federal copyright laws. It's also inconsistent with the Code of Student Conduct and the University’s commitment to protecting the intellectual property rights of artists and scholars, whether they're part of our community or not.
