Please Don't Distribute Copyrighted Materials

Sad that happened. I will say the one thing that is challenging is that under the Resources tab, under courseware, there is the accessibility document. I do include the accessibility document in my course, but I hide it so other students do not have access to it.I wanted to give you all a heads-up. A person using the username kiranjadhav010407 has posted all the CompTIA-branded (still copyrighted) Security+ SY0-601 materials on LinkedIn. I reported it and asked that it be taken down, but there were over 350 comments: a mix of copyright warnings and thanks for posting.
When things like this happen, some people blame folks like us: instructors who have access to and use those copyrighted training materials.
It strictly states, “This document is to be used only by authorized instructors and students who have accessibility needs. Other use or distribution is prohibited.” So in cases where we have students who do need the document and then decide to publish it, it can leak out to others very quickly.
