Illegal downloading causes concern

IUS Horizon January 29, 2012
IU Southeast has issued a notice to inform students of an increase in illegal downloading and sharing copyright songs and movies over the Internet on campus. Lee Staton, manager of communication and special projects, said he believes the rise is coming from the increase of students living on campus, increasing the usage of wired and wireless connections. “There was a significant increase in activity when the lodges first opened,” Staton said. “Since we have residents living on campus and a fast Internet connection, the environment was perfect for people to download. As we have started to educate students, there has been a steady decrease in the number of violations on our campus.”
