What is Illegal File Sharing?
Using file-sharing programs like Limewire and BitTorrent to share copyrighted music, movies, games, and other files is illegal. Organizations such as the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and others monitor file sharing on the Internet and notify the University when a computer on its network is illegally sharing copyrighted files. The RIAA has published an informative video concerning the downloading of files. The video requires Apple Quicktime to view.
