Davidson College has a legal obligation to stop illegal file sharing and strongly promotes compliance with copyright law. Please see the campus policy on copyright law compliance for more information. There are risks associated with using the campus network to illegally download music and video files. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and other copyright holders are aggressively initiating legal actions against individuals engaged in illegal peer-to-peer file sharing. Personal computers used to illegally download multimedia are not anonymous and can be identified by copyright holders in order to pursue legal action. Davidson College encourages students and employees to explore and use legal sources to maintain compliance with the law. The services listed below allow purchase, license or download of content. ITS cannot warrant that a service is compliant, nor do we recommend a particular service. Read the fine print and practice safe and legal computing.
