Re: RIAA Notices

Brenda, et.al.  -

Our procedures are similar to most of the others reporting.  In terms of
penalties:

   * 1st offense
         o network shutoff
         o require removal of infringing content and p2p software
         o sign a statement acknowledging removal and a basic
           understanding of copyright,
           http://access.uni.edu/forms/its/actvstmnt.pdf
         o after the form is returned, network access is reinstated
   * 2nd offense
         o network shutoff for 30 days
         o referral to Dean of Students for administrative hearing (for
           students)
         o meeting with CIO for staff member and supervisor (for
           faculty/staff)
   * 3rd offense
         o permanent loss of network access
         o probably severe sanctions from Dean of Students and CIO, but
           we've never had a 3rd offense
