You know people can be sued for sharing copyrighted material online. But did you know that it could actually happen to you? Two years ago, UC Berkeley received 25 subpoenas from the RIAA intended for students living in the residence halls, while UC San Diego received over 30 subpoenas. That's scary! Don't let that happen to you. |
Getting your internet shut off the week of a midterm exam can be the most frustrating experience ever. Knowing what bandwidth is and how it affects your Internet experience can prevent that from happening to you. |
Have you ever 'googled' yourself? We bet you'd be surprised at how much personal info can be found online. Knowing what's protected information and keeping that information safe is one way you can be smart on the Internet. |
