To all students, faculty, and staff,

Do you download, or send to others, copyrighted music or movies? If you don't have the permission of the copyright holder you are violating federal law and may be liable for fines up to $30,000.

Downloading music or movie files without the permission of the copyright holder is illegal. So is transferring to others music or movies you may have purchased. Don't do it. If USP is approached with a subpoena from the Recording Industry Association of America or other similar organization, we must of course turn over our records to them.

Additionally, if you are engaged in downloading or transferring music or movie files, illegally or otherwise, you are interfering with network traffic capability and thereby violating USP's policy on Responsible Computing. Please refer to the policy in the Student Handbook available on the USP website at: http://www.usip.edu/studentaffairs/studenthandbook/
