Illegal file sharing (also called pirating) falls under Copyright Law. Illegal file sharing includes software programs, music, movies, games, and other digital files. Even if you are not aware that files you share are copyrighted, you may still be held legally responsible. The Higher Education Opportunity Act requires all colleges and universities to offer legal alternatives to unauthorized downloading.
