Users of the Kalamazoo College network may not use peer-to-peer file sharing programs, including, but not limited to, Kazaa, Gnutella, Morpheus, Audiogalaxy Satellite, Win MX, etc. Please also refer to related policies regarding unlawful distribution of copyrighted materials, which is a violation of the Kalamazoo College Honor Code.
Copyright violations such as sharing of copyrighted music and movies are especially troubling. Distributing copyrighted material is illegal and has always been against College policy and the College Honor Code. It is also subject to both internal disciplinary measures as well as legal prosecution and puts both the perpetrator and the College at risk.
Please note that copyrighted materials cannot be shared by any means without proper permission. This includes sharing via network file shares, the web, or any other means and is not limited to peer-to-peer programs.
