Why does LITS care about copyright?
The Library, Information and Technology Services group is closely involved in copyright as the keepers of vast stores of intellectual and artistic works. Violating the rights granted to the creators of these works is contrary to the spirit of intellectual growth and freedom because it is by these rights that creativity is, hopefully, encouraged and rewarded. On a more practical note, it is also important to realize that it is clearly illegal. LITS does not want to put the College at risk, nor do we want to subject our staff to personal liability for knowingly violating copyright law.
