The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-315) Section 488, requires institutions of higher education to annually inform students that "unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material, including unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing, may subject the students to civil and criminal liabilities".
Furthermore, the Carnegie Mellon University Computing Policy prohibits the distribution of copyright protected material via the University network or computer systems, unless the copyright owner grants permission.

The DMCA criminalizes the development or use of software that enables users to access material that is copyright protected. In addition, the policy prohibits the duplication of software for multiple uses, meeting the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) requirements. The University's Fair Use Policy states that all members of the University must comply with US copyright law and it explains the fair use standards for using and duplicating copyrighted material.
United States copyright law "protects the original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device". Besides raising awareness about copyright law, it takes appropriate action in support of enforcement as required by policy and law. Carnegie Mellon University takes copyright violation seriously.
