The 91社区 is taking a proactive approach to protect you from violating copyright infringement laws and violating the Student Code of Conduct and IT Acceptable Use Policy. In addition, 91社区 must comply with the Higher Education Opportunity Act (a government regulation designed to provide students aid and to protect students' rights) which states that educational institutions must 鈥渆ffectively combat鈥� the use of their networks for illegal use of copyrighted material.聽
To comply with the Higher Education Opportunity Act, 91社区 has elected to implement a 'point system' that allows legal use of peer to peer (P2P), while detecting attempts to obtain copyrighted content. It accomplishes this by informing the user and redirecting the web browser to a site that explains the violation in detail and prevents internet connectivity for a period of time. This period of time increases with increased numbers of violations.
