	It is illegal to host or distribute copyrighted materials without permission. This includes images, software, MP3 music files, video files, etc. Copyright holders, particularly from the music industry are very aggressively tracking down, identifying and prosecuting those who are sharing MP3 files. BU regularly receives notifications that network addresses traceable to our university are involved in the illegal sharing of copyrighted materials. BU can trace these addresses directly to residence hall rooms. In cooperation with University Police and Residence Life staff, OT has established due process procedures for terminating user access to network services until the files in question are removed or the activity ceases.

	Welcome to Bloomsburg University’s Office of Technology (OT) home page. The Office of Technology is responsible for providing technology services, resources, training and information to all members of the university community. It does so by coordinating the activities of six technology support units:
