Cary Sherman Hope Quotations

Campus LAN piracy is not new, yet the problem has taken on new urgency. We know from past experience that bringing this problem to light can effect real change. We are hopeful that this new systematic program will yield even more positive results.

We are thrilled to see the number of schools offering legitimate services more than triple in the last year, and (we) remain hopeful that these partnerships will continue to flourish. At the same time, complacency looms as a constant threat to the tremendous progress we have made. As the landscape changes, so must the anti-piracy programs within the university community. There is much promise in the coming years, but our work is far from done.

We cannot ignore the growing misuse of campus LAN systems or the toll this means of theft is taking on our industry. We hope administrators will take this opportunity to fully evaluate their systems and take action to stop theft by all means.
