    3.

  1. There are many reasons students should not use peer-to-peer file-sharing services to share music files (and movies and software).  Which of the following is not one of those reasons?

    1. Since the programs use up so much of the network’s bandwidth, if everyone were to use these programs, the network would grind to a halt and students would not be able to do their schoolwork.

    2. Many peer-to-peer file-sharing programs leave parts of your PC open for other people to use and could, potentially, allow them to hack your PC.   In addition, many of these programs come with spyware programs that record where you go on the web and that also expose your PC to other potential security problems.

    3. If you download or share copyrighted music files—or any other copyrighted material—you are probably breaking the copyright laws of the United States or international copyright laws.

    5. None of the above responses is correct; all of the above would violate University policy.
