P2P

File sharing is when you provide access to certain digital media such as multimedia (videos, audio and images), documents, ebooks and computer programs. P2P is using a specific network to share from peer to peer, for example the torrent sites. One example of P2P sharing like mentioned in the article "Digital Pirates Winning Battle With Studios" is people sharing illegal copies of movies that are out in theaters. Using P2P sharing it is much easier to get files that you would not have been able to get before. P2P sharing definitely has its positives if you're on the side where you are trying to get something, not so much for large companies.
