INFRINGEMENT POLICY

STUDENT ADVISORY CONCERNING COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

The concept of private property is one of the building blocks of our society. To take the property of another without permission is theft. This concept is also applicable to copyrighted intellectual property, such as music and video entertainment.

Students at Apex Tech are prohibited from using Apex computers, networks, or other electronic devices for the purpose of illegally duplicating or sharing copyrighted material. This not only includes printed material, but also downloaded or shared music, video or other media files.

Students who engage in the illegal duplication or distribution of copyrighted material using Apex Tech’s computers, networks, or other equipment are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the school.

STUDENT ADVISORY

Students are advised that the Apex computer network is monitored and all network activity can be observed and traced by school officials. The network employs software for the purpose of detecting and preventing the illegal downloading of media files (music, videos, etc.) in violation of copyright policy.
