HEOA Detection and Enforcement
The HEAO requires higher education institutions to participate in provisions intended to reduce illegal download and upload of copyrighted material through peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing.
- Steps that the institution will take to detect and punish illegal distribution of copyrighted materials include both network and education components:
- Wittenberg uses a hardware solution called Audible Magic to detect and disconnect illegal downloads of copyrighted materials. While hardware solutions are not 100% successful, Audible Magic is capable of interrupting much of this type of network traffic.
- Copyright infringement notices received by the University will be promptly sent through remediation.
- All notices received referencing Wittenberg's registered network resources (wired and wireless networks):
- Students: Enforcement will follow the steps outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.
- Faculty and staff: Enforcement will follow the steps outlined in the respective handbook, maintained by Wittenberg's Office of Human Resources.
- Notices received referencing Wittenberg's Unsecure Wireless network: See Copyright Infringement Notification - Wittenberg's open wireless network
- All notices received referencing Wittenberg's registered network resources (wired and wireless networks):
- Wittenberg maintains a copyright education course available to all students, faculty, and staff to review on a voluntary basis via Moodle courseware.
- Wittenberg maintains copyright education and information available to all students, faculty, staff, and guests through these web pages.
