Do you download music, movies or books online? If so, make sure you are doing it legally or there can be serious consequences!
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) is a federal law designed to protect the authors of intellectual works such as books, movies and music, and it prohibits sharing these files.
Copying and sharing someone else’s work may violate an author’s rights even when you are not selling the copies.
Central Community College forbids the use of all peer-to-peer applications on the college network and computers.
Immediately stop downloading copyrighted material illegally. To comply with the law and to protect yourself from possible litigation, we strongly encourage you to remove illegally obtained copyrighted material from your computer.
