Be Smart About IT
When you lock your house or apartment door as you leave, do you tape the key to the outside of the door? Of course
you don't. You keep your key secure. Your computer password is also a key that protects others from accessing
your information. A strong password helps keep your information secure.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) filesharing is an exciting technology. Unfortunately, today's P2P technology is most
often used to share and distribute files that are copyright-protected, which can result in civil or criminal
liability for violation of copyright law. Besides the risk of being prosecuted or sued, filesharing often is coupled
with other hazards for you and your computer.
