Copyright owners can hire agents to scan university networks for copyrighted materials that are available to others including from computer systems on our network. MIT receives many notices from these organizations alleging copyright infringement. They focus on college campuses because of the high level of file-sharing activity. MIT is an ISP for many at the Institute who use campus network services such as MITnet.
