¼«ËÙÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¿ª½±¼Ç¼'s Digital Copyright Compliance
Downloading, copying and sharing material, such as music, movies, games, and applications, for which the copyright holder has not given you rights is both against the law and ¼«ËÙÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¿ª½±¼Ç¼’s Policy on Use of the ¼«ËÙÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¿ª½±¼Ç¼ Computing Environment. The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008, also referred to as H.R. 4137, was signed into law on August 14.

In the file-sharing context, downloading or uploading substantial parts of a copyrighted work without authority constitutes an infringement.
Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either actual damages or "statutory" damages affixed at not less than $750 and not more than $30,000 per work infringed. For "willful" infringement, a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion, also assess costs and attorneys' fees. For details, see Title 17, United States Code, Sections 504, 505.
