- If you use peer-to-peer software to exchange files,
it is important for you to familiarize yourself with the
rules governing their use at NYU,
and to always respect copyright restrictions.
It is possible to run web and FTP servers on many systems that are connected to NYU-NET, and therefore many opportunities exist for individuals or departments to "publish" information for global consumption.
Unfortunately, this means that some people have begun to redistribute non-original material (e.g., commercial music, commercial software, documents) that is protected by copyright, without permission of the copyright owner, using NYU's systems and network.
Such activity is both contrary to NYU's policy on appropriate-use, and is a violation of federal law governing copyright.
If you are serving any data, in any medium, that is not your own intellectual property, and is protected by copyright, you must either obtain the permission of the owner of the material, or you must remove the copyrighted material from distribution immediately.
