How do copyright laws affect use of software and/or Internet materials?
Be careful of copyright infringement. It is a violation of University policy and federal law to participate in copyright infringement. Copyrighted materials include, but are not limited to, computer software, audio and video recordings, photographs, and written material. Violators are subject to University discipline, as well as legal liability, even if the work did not contain a written copyright notice. See the UT System Intellectual Property Policy for more information. All users must abide by applicable software license agreements and may copy licensed software only as permitted by license.
