P2P File Sharing


File sharing is making digital media such as music, movies and TV shows available to others on the Internet.  P2P file sharing is peer-to-peer distribution using a third party site.  According to the article, Should Online Scofflaws Be Denied Web Access?  Pirates are also turning to file hosting services like RapidShare, which allow users to upload files too big to e-mail. Others can then download them from RapidShare.”  This means that people can put music and movies onto RapidShare, which allows anyone to be able to access the files.  Another P2P file sharing service is Pirate Bay.  They are a site that allows people to download content, and they also offer a service that hides a computer’s Internet address.
