I don't plan on decreasing my usage of the university server. I already
observe the common sense regulations. As for the more ambiguous 'unauthorized'
messages, I would argue that anything I choose to post has a bearing, however
indirect, on my creative research as a composer/performer. Now what about
that 'unauthorized purchases' part? Can I legally place that email order for
some siberian irises for my garden using the university server? Sure...I
think. Isn't that ok'd by the 'short message...like a phone call.' authorized
usage?
Will common sense apply to the enforcement of these rules? Sure.
