Copyright Act
DoD attorneys may need to provide broad guidance in this area to protect the DoD from potential liability for copyright infringement. Thus, if it comes to the attention of DoD attorneys that a unit has purchased a single license for a software product but has subsequently made multiple unauthorized copies of the software for others in the unit, the DoD attorney should provide guidance as to the legal ramifications of such activity. Likewise, DoD attorneys should be wary of the use of government computer systems and networks to post, copy, or transmit copyrighted works in violation of the Copyright Act.
