Illegal File Sharing on the Campus Network
From Office of the CIO
DON'T BE THE RIAA'S NEXT LAWSUIT!
REMOVE PEER-TO-PEER FILE SHARING PROGRAMS FROM YOUR COMPUTER NOW!
Seton Hall University recently received a large number of notices from
the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) complaining that users of
the campus network are violating copyright laws by sharing copyrighted files
without permission.
When the University receives such a notice, an investigation is started
to determine whether or not the alleged file sharing violates copyright law.
The University's policy of the appropriate use of computer facilities states
that users found violating copyright laws may face disciplinary sanctions,
including the loss of the use of the campus network. The RIAA has also begun
suing college students who the RIAA believes has violated its copyrights.
While the University has not yet received any supeanas requesting records of
student use of the campus network, in the event the University does receive
such requests, it would be obliged to turn over the requested use records to
the RIAA.
At this time the notices from the RIAA are primarily for the use of Ares
Galaxy and Wares, two popular peer-to-peer file sharing programs. However, the
RIAA has the capability to monitor traffic over the Internet and to detect
peer-to-peer exchanges of music files using most popular peer-to-peer programs.
University IT Services recommends that any user who has a peer-to-peer
file sharing program installed on their computer carefully review the setup of
that program to make sure it is not inadvertantly sharing copyrighted material.
If you have any questions about the legality of the files you are sharing, we
recommend that you remove the file sharing program from your computer.
