<p>i'm new to gw..how serious is the univ about this: <a href="http://gwired.gwu.edu/legalmusic%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://gwired.gwu.edu/legalmusic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>gw students getting sued for 3k for illegal file swapping? do they actually monitor the networks? do mass numbers of students still download? how often do people get caught? is MyTunes popular for file-sharing? thanks</p>

<p>Did you look at GWU's policy that you linked to. They mention the no pay peer to peer networks, not the commerical networks like ITunes. ITunes is legal, you pay a fee and the artist gets a percentage of that fee.</p>
