Copyright Compliance Notice

Students, Faculty and Staff are all granted access to University network resources which provide access to the global Internet and other technological resources. The University expects all members of its community to comply with U.S. copyright laws as a condition of use for network resources.

Among other possible disciplinary actions, the privilege of a student or employee to access the Queens computer network may be revoked or restricted if he/she is found to be using the network in ways that violate acceptable practices described in the Queens Student Handbook or that are contrary to state or federal law. This includes copyright laws - those covering unauthorized or illegal duplication, receipt or transmission of copyrighted material.

Be aware that the unauthorized downloading and sharing of music files through services such as KaZaA and Morpheus is in most cases a felony violation of Federal Copyright Law.
