Blog: P2P

According to Wikipedia file sharing is defined as the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. While peer to peer file sharing enables users to access these media files (i.e. Books,movies, and games) using a P2P software program that locates other computers that also connected with the P2P to search for media files. According to the article "Digital Pirates Winning Battle With Studios" people have been swapping illegal copies of songs, television shows and movies through the internet for years. The article goes on to mention how the slow download process generally used a P2P technology called BitTorrent. Now however, anyone can find free movies using a search engine instead of downloading.
