Copyright Policy

Unauthorized copying or use of digital material (e.g. Computer software, movies, music, intellectual material) is ILLEGAL and unethical. Ouachita Baptist University strictly prohibits copying licensed software. Users are allowed, however, to make a copy for backup or archival purposes of duly licensed software. Ouachita will not knowingly encourage, condone or support the illegal acquisitions, possession, or distribution of copyright protected materials in any form. Specifically, if the University becomes aware of persons utilizing the Campus network for such purposes, those persons could be considered in violation of the Code of Computing Practices, and appropriate actions will be taken. If you are in doubt about whether you own a legal copy of your digital material, you may contact the Computer Services Department for assistance.
