WHAT MAKES FILE SHARING
ILLEGAL?
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act
(DMCA) is a piece of legislation signed into law in
1998 defining the illegal downloading and/or sharing
of copyrighted material. LSU is required to investigate DMCA
complaints and take action to remove infringing content.
HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO ME?
Copyright holders (or organizations
acting on their behalf) actively monitor for devices sharing their
content. Examples include: movies, music &
software. If they discover you sharing or downloading over
LSU's network, LSU may
receive a DMCA complaint.
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT IS LEGAL AND WHAT IS NOT,
WHEN IT COMES TO COPYING MUSIC OR MOVIES?
