 Dynamic Menu What's This?


The Dynamic Menu displays expanding submenus. When the Dynamic Menu option is on, you will see a right pointing triangle (Expand). When you put the mouse over the menu item, the menu will expand to the right.

If you like this feature, check the Checkbox to the left; otherwise, make sure it is unchecked.

If you use the same computer every time you visit the ITS web pages, we'll be able to remember your menu preferences!

Be Informed. Be Ethical. Be Legal.

How can I get caught?
When you use such services as BitTorrent and peer to peer (P2P) to download and upload files, you are not anonymous. Whenever you connect to the network, your computer is assigned a unique IP address. This unique IP address is used to identify your computer as the source of available files to all other computers on P2P or BitTorrent. P2P allows your computer to exchange files with other computers that are running similar software. BitTorrent is a client-server service using a group of computers called a “swarm” uploading/downloading the same file. Files you download/upload can be traced back to you.

How do I prevent copyright infringement?
If you have P2P or BitTorrent software installed on one or more of your computers connected to the Internet, delete it, or if you have a legal reason to use the software, delete any unauthorized files in your "shared folder." Also be aware that file sharing is one of the easiest ways to send and receive viruses and/or spyware that will adversely affect the performance of your machine and others on the network. Finally, read the links posted here to be informed and how to legally obtain works.
