Can I use peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks on campus for music and other downloads?
Distributing copyrighted materials without a license is a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the Computer and Network Use Policy (CNUP). Engaging in illegal activities can have legal and financial consequences and these burdens rest entirely on the shoulders of the individual identified by the DMCA complaint. To reduce the ability to illegally share copyrighted materials, using our network tools, KSC ‘restricts’ network access to and from P2P applications. Legitimate academic exceptions are handled on a case-by-case basis.
