Marshall University Copyright Policies and Procedures Marshall University, faculty, students and staff are required to follow Copyright and Intellectual Property policies and adhere to the guidelines for producing, using and sharing creative or educational works. Marshall University recently received unwanted publicity as a result of being in the top 25 universities receiving copyright infringement complaints from the Recording Industry Association of America. While this publicity alone does not warrant a new policy it makes the issue ripe for policy and procedure application/modification. University Computing Services conservatively estimates each violation/complaint received from the RIAA costs 1 to 2 hours of staff time to research, and hundreds of complaints have been received thus far this academic year, from the RIAA alone.” (Marshall University Copyright Infringement Complaints Procedure, April 2007.)
