<p>Notre Dame doesn’t censor anything. But if too many people pirate music on a large scale, the university gets a letter from lawyers of music companies and we’re told that whoever is doing it needs to stop.</p>
<p>There are urban legends of a student once expelled for downloading a lot of porn on the university network, but I think it’s just something told to the freshmen every year, because when someone repeated it to a friend of mine who was a senior last year, he laughed, saying he would have been expelled every day for four years.</p>
<p>illegal downloading is such a joke. there’s no way to stop it. I hear in our school’s dorms, you can literally open your itunes or whatever and listen to other people’s music in the next room, because the music was pirated and doesn’t have any protection. People are still vulnerable to the law, like [this</a> poor lady](<a href=“http://www.switched.com/2009/06/19/woman-fined-1-9-million-for-downloading-24-songs/]this”>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/19/woman-fined-1-9-million-for-downloading-24-songs/), but it’s just so common it’s ridiculous.</p>
<p>I go to Wake Forest and I’ve never encountered anything that has been blocked. I’m sure if it was illegal we might have a problem, but I never have.</p>
