News: 

• The Recording Industry and You!

Many college students see illegal music and video downloading as harmless and don't fully understand the consequences. Don't make this mistake! When illegal filesharing takes place, not only are the artists not receiving their just dues, the excessive use of network bandwidth and time spent responding to violation notices are an unnecessary cost to the university, and the personal impacts for you can be severe. If you/your computer are involved in illegal downloading, there is potential risk to any other information you have stored, your network privileges can be suspended for inappropriate use, and you can be prosecuted judicially or criminally for your infringement of copyright. The best approach is to avoid peer-to-peer software such as Gnutella, BitTorrent and LimeWire. Instead, use one of the many legal download sources for acquiring your music and movies, and, if filesharing software is installed, make sure it is configured so that sharing of local files is disabled. If you have questions about configuration, see: http://www.jmu.edu/computing/runsafe/nullify.shtml#music
