File Sharing Policy

SNHU is committed to enforcing and obeying all copyright laws to the extent possible, and complying with all associated legal responsibilities. Any person who infringes the copyright law can be held liable.

Downloading of music, movies or other works that are protected by copyright law is illegal. SNHU has recently implemented technology that will allow us to block music and other such downloads very effectively.

The university must take these steps to avoid legal entanglements for both the university and potentially for our students. Huge fines are being levied against college students and others who have been identified as using file-sharing services on the internet.

Blocking such downloads will also improve the performance of the internet on campus for normal web surfing, using instant messenger, and for other uses of the internet.
