Please Be Aware
As an employee of the Library, you are expected to obey all applicable laws and university policies
regarding software piracy. You should not engage in piracy yourself, nor should you assist someone
else who is engaging in piracy. Assistance includes not only physical assistance, but also includes
verbal or written instructions.
In addition, it is SDSU's policy not to provide any assistance to someone who is clearly working
with pirated software. Obviously, there are cases which are unclear and we should give the
individual the benefit of the doubt. But if someone has software (my friend copied for me) and
inquiry confirms that the item is an illegal copy of proprietary software, the employee of the
Library should refuse to assist, and refer the individual to their supervisor.
Any employee of the Library who assists a individual to make an illegal copy of proprietary
software is violating SDSU's guidelines, and may be subject to disciplinary action. This does
not include helping someone recover a damaged original diskette, or helping the owner learn how
to create a backup copy. Anything that is within the spirit of the copyright law is acceptable.
