Q. How can I download movies and music? Can I use peer-to-peer file sharing applications (like BitTorrent, LimeWire, or Morpheus)?
A. Unauthorized peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing on college and university campuses is receiving increasing attention from the entertainment industry, the media, and the United States Congress. Although P2P file sharing on college networks is not unlawful, such activity is not necessarily harmless [or without harm] especially as it can lead to a violation of the federal copyright law. Indeed, many student using popular software, such as Ares, BitTorrent, Direct Connect, Morpheus, LimeWire, and Gnutella, intentionally or advertently infringe on copyrighted works relating to music, movies, computer software, video games, and photographs. Lawsuit filings indicate copyright owners are taking the offensive against infringements on their protected works. Students need to know their rights and responsibilities, and their potential liability for unlawful P2P activities. Miles College does not promote the downloading of movies or music of any kind on campus.
