What You Can't and Can Do
This page has been adapted with permission from an official publication of SUNY Plattsburgh.
You Cannot
- Copy, redistribute, or download software, CDs, videos, or games unless the copyright holder gives you explicit permission to do so.
- Expect to get away with breaking copyright in the digital age: you risk being sued by the copyright holder, and you risk a wide range of campus disciplinary actions.
You Can
- Get involved and get active. If you feel that the current state of copyright leaves a little to be desired, you're not alone. Copyright legislation is perpetually evolving, and numerous advocacy groups have web sites that provide opportunities to get involved in the discussion of your rights as a consumer of CDs, games, software, and videos.
