P2P File Sharing



File sharing is exchanged files between computers through internet or networks. P2P is a type of decentralized and distributed network architecture  that allows a group of computer users with the same networking program to connect with each other and directly access files from one another's hard drives. Some examples of P2P such as BitTorrent , Napster, LiveStation etc. According to the article “Should Online Scofflaws Be Denied Web Access?” by Eric Pfanner, while file sharing by peer-to-peer networks appeared to be leveling off globally, sites that offered alternatives to downloading, like streaming of pirated movies, were growing fast and the Private bay has caused American entertainment of $20 billion a year in sales.
