Copyright Infringement
In the Computer & Network Usage and Security Policy,
we state the following:
3.1.4 Responsibility of Resources
Users must ensure that GIT computer systems and network resources are used for scholarly or business purposes only.
Incidental personal use is permissible if the use meets the following standards:
- Does not create a security or legal risk for Georgia Tech
- Does not interfere with worker productivity
- Does not consume more than a trivial amount of resources that could otherwise be used for scholarly or business purposes
- Does not require the installation of any software or hardware unrelated to business or scholarly use.
- Does not constitute inappropriate behavior for a professional work environment.
ResNet and EastNet residents may use their assigned wired-network port connections for recreational purposes to the
extent that such usage does not violate other provisions of this policy or adversely affect network service performance
for other users engaged in academic activities.
3.1.5 Networking implementation and management
The Office of Information Technology is responsible for planning, implementing, and managing the GIT network,
including wireless connections. The following technologies cannot be implemented at GIT without prior written approval
by OIT: routers, switches, hubs, wireless access points, and other networking technologies. The procedure for
requesting implementation of new (wired or wireless) networking service to an area, or the expansion in coverage, is
described in Section 2.2.4 of the Computer and Network Security Procedures.
