Why is file-sharing legally dangerous for the University of Utah?
A. The rising number of complaints that Utah receives on a weekly basis not gone unnoticed– the worse the problem gets at the University of Utah, the more strictly agencies will monitor the files being transferred. As the flagship institution of public higher education institutions in Utah, the U needs to be especially mindful of the risks of litigation. As such, the University must have an approach that clearly meets what’s required by the current law, in the best judgement of those that make the decisions. Whether individuals think sharing music or movies is a big deal is unfortunately irrelevant.
