I thought that P2P sharing is supposed to be used for sharing private files, but apparently those private files are copyrighted. Why do people thinks that those files are private? Cos they bought it and now that’s theirs and they’re free to distribute it to their friend? Well that’s hella lot of friend they have, like, the entire world is their friends. Well let’s not avoid the fact that we also use P2P sharing sites. Megaupload, Mediafire, Sendspace and many other list of them. P2P sharing sites are actually very useful yet unlawful. Which sides are you in? I don’t hate it since I use it to download some songs and videos. THAT is because I don’t own any of them. Let’s just put ourselves on the author’s shoes. Won’t you hate it?! I think I would. Cos that means I will get less profit from my work and that doesn’t sound very good.
A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network uses diverse connectivity between participants in a network and the cumulative bandwidth of network participants rather than conventional centralized resources where a relatively low number of servers provide the core value to a service or application. -Wikipedia
