Legal Downloading Resources
It is a violation of federal law to distribute or share copyrighted material without authorization of the copyright holder. As required by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), LDS Business College has implemented policies against the illegal sharing or downloading of materials copyrighted by others. Specifically, Section 1.5 of the Student Information Security Policies deals with student obligations in regards to intellectual property.
The College is also obliged to provide students with information on legal alternatives to downloading protected media including, but not limited to, books, music, movies, and games. A brief chart of some of those resources is provided below.
Notes:
- Providing this list of resources is not intended as, nor does it constitute, a recommendation or endorsement of these organizations or their offerings.
- Please consult the websites of each individual resource/service for more specific information—such as their terms of service, pricing, and so on.
- For a variety of reasons, access to many of these (and other resources/services) might be unavailable on the LDSBC campus, or via campus networks.
