IP Address Static IP addresses can also be used to trace the location of your computer Computers use IP addresses to locate and talk to each other on the Internet much the same way people use phone numbers to locate and talk to one another on the telephone A Static IP address is a number that is assigned to a computer by an Internet service provider ISP to be its permanent address on the Internet Most ISPs use dynamic IP addresses which means you are given a di erent IP address every time you log on and o the Internet If your computer is left connected to the Internet or if you operate on a wireless network that never shuts down a person can nd you by grabbing a satellite photo of the location of the IP address you are using This is yet another reason why you should monitor your online communications

Hitchhiking on Highway 411 Illegal Downloading
Many students think that hitchhiking on Highway 411 is an innocent free ride in the back seat of the jeep What they may or may not know is that it can also be a very dangerous trip if they go down that road Not to mention it is illegal Here s the download on illegal downloading Myth I cannot be sued for downloading music and movies o P2P sites They ll never catch me Fact True and False You can t be sued if you have downloaded songs that have been put online with the approval of record labels and artists which usually involves paying for royalties If you download unapproved tracks from unsanctioned sites whether it is one song or a million you are violating copyright laws and you run the risk of being sued The Recording Industry Association of America RIAA led 3 000 lawsuits against individuals as of May 2004 and in some cases sought nancial damages of up to 150 000 per copyrighted song

Intellectual Property Tips
The Facts An estimated 2 5 billion dollars lost by the movie industry and 4 1 billion lost by the music industry due to Internet piracy Over 50 of the students polled by i SAFE America have copied downloaded music from the Internet The Business Software Alliance estimates over 840 000 Internet sites sell illegal software The Recording Industry Association of America as reported by Billboard Bulletin is blaming illegal le sharing for the 15 8 drop in mid year 2003 music shipments Legally recording labels can demand 150 000 per song for copyright infringement A recent investigation indicates that more than 60 of software sold through Internet auction sites is counterfeit and more than 90 is sold in violation of the publisher s license agreement

Consider This Bridgeport Conn A federal judge has ned a Connecticut woman 6 000 for allegedly downloading copyright protected music from the Internet May 5 2004 In Lafayette South Carolina a grandmother is sued by RIAA for 3 500 Her grandson Devon had used her computer to illegally download 520 songs Barbara received notice a month prior from AOL that her account was being suspended because she had illegally downloaded and shared copyrighted material with people on the Internet When she found out she told Devon to stop the downloading activity immediately

The Rules of the Road US Copyright Law Title 17 U S C Section 101 et seq Title 18 U S C Section 2319 protects copyright owners from the unauthorized reproduction adaption or distribution of sound and video recordings as well as certain digital performances to the public Basically it is illegal to steal the creative work of others and claim it as your own Downloading music and movies without paying on unsanctioned sites is illegal and can result in criminal penalties There is a good possibility of downloading a virus when using peer to peer sites for downloading intellectual property such as music videos and photos Don t fall for a well designed site Often illegal businesses have slick sites that can fool even the experienced online user Get full company addresses and phone numbers up front Avoid sites that are unwilling to give full details on services and policies
