Copyright Infringement Policy

The concept of private property is one of the building blocks of our society. To take the property of another without permission is theft. This concept is also applicable to intellectual property, such as music and video entertainment.

Students and employees at NYCI are prohibited from using school computers, networks, copying machines, document scanners, or other electronic devices for the purpose of illegally duplicating or sharing copyrighted material. This not only includes printed material, but downloaded or shared music, video or other media files.

Students who engage in in the illegal duplication or disribution of copyrighted material using the NYCI's computers, networks, copying machines, document scanners, or other equipment are subject to diciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.

Student Advisory: Students are advised that NYCI's computer network is monitored and all network activity can be observed and traced by school officials. The network employs software for the purpose of detecting and preventing the illegal downloading of media files (music, videos, etc.).

Students with questions about downloading and/or intellectual property should consult with the Dean of Academic Affairs.
