Last spring, the RIAA notified two Smith students that they would be sued for copyright infringement. One student has already settled with the RIAA out of court for $3,000. Additionally, ITS has already been contacted by the RIAA several times this semester about students who they believe are illegally sharing copyrighted music.

Protect yourself from a similar lawsuit by:
• Understanding the RIAA enforcement strategy and Smith’s position.
• Removing all illegal peer-to-peer file-sharing programs from your computer.
• Knowing that illegal sharing of copyrighted files is also a violation of Smith’s Acceptable Use Policy.
