Blog: P2P


        In "Digital rights management", the website stated that illegal file sharing is to make downloading easy and cheap. The concept of easy and cheap may cost you viruses that can be attached to the illegal file sharing website. File sharing is the practice of sharing or offering access to digital information or resources, including documents, audio clips, videos, graphics, computer programs, images and e-books. It's a service thats multipurpose that has evolved from removable media from network protocols, such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP).  Operating systems also provide file-sharing methods, such as network file sharing (NFS). One of the most popular, but controversial, method of file sharing is called peer to peer or P2P file sharing because of the use of peer-to-peer software. P2P also allows users to directly access, download and edit files. It allows users to access media files such as books, music, movies, and games using a P2P software program. There are times third-party software whom facilitates P2P sharing by collecting and segmenting large files into more compartmented pieces. Examples of P2P file sharing would be BitTorrent, Gnutella and DC++.
