Students: What you need to know about illegal music and movie downloads

Students:

If you're using a program like Limewire to download music or movies, you're sharing or receiving something you didn't buy, don't own, or didn't pay for in any way. Essentially, you're transferring stolen goods. In another sense, it's like going into a store and stealing a CD.

Not only are you breaking state and federal laws, but you're violating Bucknell's policies as well.

To learn more about downloading, including why illegal downloading is bad, what could happen to you if you do it, and options for legal alternatives, read ISR's bulletin on why illegal downloading will get you into trouble.
