DMCA & Illegal File Sharing


Stop the illegal file sharing
 
 

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.

WHEN IT COMES TO COPYING MUSIC OR MOVIES?
