What are UT Dallas obligations under the law?
A. UT Dallas must designate an individual and group to handle the complaints it receives–here, it is, Leah M. Teutsch, Director of Information Security. The Information Security Office must deal with each complaint it receives in an “expedient” manner. While UT Dallas is not obligated to terminate accounts, it is obligated to stop the sharing of the specified file(s). Since those in Information Security cannot remove the material themselves, their agreed-upon practice is to give the student enough time to remove the material himself. In every case, UT Dallas obligation is to stop the alleged violation. UT Dallas must also comply with any subpoenas issued by copyright holders requesting the identity of alleged copyright infringers.
