Legal Alternatives to Downloading
Illegal downloading of music, movies, and other media is an unfortunately common occurrence in today’s technology savvy society. Theft of copyrighted material is often flippantly regarded as an everyday occurrence. With it can come expensive consequences; what most people don’t realize is that illegal downloads often come with some sort of virus or spyware that can damage the computer system. Fortunately, there are legal ways of obtaining copyrighted material such as music and movies for free. EDUCAUSE has compiled a page of resources for free legal downloads. Please take advantage of this resource instead of illegal peer-to-peer programs such as Limewire.
