File sharing software is most commonly used to download music and other media. Many do not realize that this software may turn your personal computer into a server or an upload site, even if that was not your intent. Files on your network-connected computer may then be illegally shared with every other person connected to the Internet. It is imperative that the file sharing capability of these systems be disabled.

If you do not know how to disable this function, please contact the IT Services Help Desk in room 1-215.

Industry representatives aggressively monitor the Internet to discover incidents of illegal file sharing. When violations are discovered, they contact the network owner and/or the Internet Service Provider and demand that the offending device be disconnected from the network. To protect the user and SCTCC from responsibility under the DMCA or SCTCC policy, IT Services will disable network access to any machine for which a DMCA complaint has been received.

The Higher Education Opportunity Act requires all colleges and universities to offer legal alternatives to unauthorized downloading. This link to Educause includes all of the legitimate online services that they are currently aware of. No endorsement or evaluation is intended.

Thank you for taking this notification seriously.
