Uploading / File Sharing
Time and again, cases emerge of students in particular downloading and distributing films via file sharing. Such practices often prompt copyright holders (especially US production companies - eg. Paramount Pictures) to take legal action. Uploading copyrighted materials using file sharing (especially bit torrent technology) is prohibited in Switzerland. Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) declines any liability whatsoever for such practices. Responsibility lies entirely with any individual who infringes against applicable law. Individuals must also bear the costs of any legal proceedings arising in connection with unlawful behaviour. ZHdK cannot be held accountable for such actions and would be required to divulge the names of those responsible in any formal procedure. ZHdK reserves the right to take disciplinary action against any persons who violate applicable legislation.
ZHdK draws attention to its IT User Regulations, according to which uploading and file sharing are strictly prohibited (see clause 3.5). Based on these regulations, ZHdK reserves the right to adopt disciplinary measures and sanctions in case of contravention (see clause 9).
