HOW IT WORKS
Streaming and iTunes
Apple's iTunes music player software allows users linked to the
same network, like the University’s, to “stream" shared music.
Songs can be played only as long as the user is connected to the
network, but it cannot be saved.
By-passing protections
getTunes, a program for Macintosh users and available for
download on the Internet, allows users to download these
shared songs, sidestepping the protections included in
Apple’s software.

Downloading without detection
Once downloaded, getTunes is opened as a separate window with
iTunes. Users can then highlight desired'songs on another
person’s shared music list within the iTunes player and add the
selections to getTunes, which saves them. The process can
happen without the primary owner ever realizing that the music
has been downloaded.

iTunes: Network security
tracks on-campus filesharing
Continued from page 1
Senior Katherine Sammler said
she doesn’t have a problem with
sharing her music, even if she isn’t
aware of it.
“It’s not my music,” Sammler
said. “It’s not their music. It’s
the artist’s.”
She admits
using file
sharing pro
grams such
as LimeWire
to download
music and
said she isn’t
concerned
about being
caught.
Filesharing is common on the Uni
versity’s network, Acceptable Use
Policy Officer Jon Miyake said. He
said there was a crackdown on file
sharing in the residence halls one
year ago that served primarily to free
up bandwidth being used largely
by file-sharing
students.
“Incoming
freshmen are
the worst of
fenders,” he
said. “They
don’t know
any different.”
He added
that most
users don’t
understand
the technolo
gy they are us
ing and how
easy it is to
get caught.
“Just as
easv as it is to
copy a file, it is as easy for the en
forcement agencies to find you,”
Miyake said.
The Acceptable Use Policy states,
“The University of Oregon respects
copyright laws and insists that its
faculty, students, and staff do like
wise. Copying proprietary software
is theft, and will not be tolerated
on campus.”
Microservices consultant Michael
Buckley said there is no way for out
side enforcers to track on-campus
filesharing with programs like get
limes. Be
cause the
University
network is a
closed sys
tem, it is up
to on-cam
pus network
security to
locate and
punisn individuals, he said.
Sophomore Ryan “Bo” Stell said
he has been downloading music for
eight years. He still spends a lot of
his money on compact discs, but he
said he has limits.
“I won’t buy a CD with just one
good song,” Stell said. “There’s a lot
worse stuff in
thp wnrld than
sharing files.”
Buckley said
users of iHines
can protect
themselves sim
ply by changing
their settings. In
iTlines prefer
ences, click the
sharing tab and
uncheck the box
that says “share
my tunes.”
Miyake said re
gardless of the
program used,
do wnloaders
should be aware of the consequences.
“(Enforcement agencies) are ac
tively out there waiting to make an
example out of others,” he said.

“Just as easy as it is to copy
a file, it is as easy for
the enforcement agencies
to find you. ”
Jon Miyake | Acceptable Use Policy officer
THE ACCEPTABLE
USE POLICY
The University’s Acceptable Use Policy states
that illegally copying software is theft and a
violation of copyright laws. Such action
makes the University susceptible to litigation,
and could also result in a student's
suspension, criminal prosecution or a civil
suit for copyright infringement. The policy
also warns students to be conscious of copy
rights when making material available for oth
ers through the Internet.
