What Is The Federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act?
July 9th, 2009 at 10:23pm Under copyright act
im going to be living on campus next year, and i love my limewire,but theres this note on my schools computing page that says that any file-sharing that is prohibited in the Federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act is prohibted. I dont know what that copyright act is, does it mean I wont be able to use limewire when I get to campus, or like if i get caught i’ll be in trouble?
also before you download limewire, they ask if you if your going to be use it do things illegally, and i’m thinking they only reason i use it is to download music and movies, so i guess what im trying to say is, if I’m mainly using lime to download entertainment is it really illegal?, and if it is why are they asking me if i’m going to use it for something illegal when they know their program is for file sharing.
cuz ive always thought of file sharing as like somebody lending me a cd or dvd letting me copy it and give them back the orginal, and they dont charge me, i thoguht it was only bad if they charge u
