All students at Cornell University were recently sent the following memo.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT USING THE CORNELL NETWORK TO FILE-SHARE AND DOWNLOAD MUSIC, GAMES AND VIDEOS: THE RECREATIONAL DOWNLOADING OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIALS IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW AND UNIVERSITY POLICY.

  1. All web surfing essentially involve sharing of files.
  2. What about web pages with MIDI embedded?
  3. What about music, games, and videos that offered for free download?
  4. How about music I buy?
  5. Does this mean I can download all of the Chuck Berry, Beatles, Velvet Underground, and Nirvana I want if its for a class on the history of rock'n'roll?
