P2P File Sharing

File sharing is the capability of sharing one document, program, or any other things from one computer to another computer over through the internet network. It is considered illegal to do this in the United States. It's because companies are losing money if they can't gain any money out of the peer to peer sharing. P2P is also known as Peer to Peer sharing where you get to share your things from your computer to another person in a different computer. There many P2P software programs, some big names ones were Kazaa, Napster, Megaupload, and many more. Though, throughout the years governments from different countries have sought to shut down all these P2P programs because the government don't have anything to gain from it. In the article "Peers Find Less Pressure Borrowing From Each Other" written by Wendy Kaufman, found legal ways to actually make money around the laws of the United States and other countries. Google, instead of directly making money off P2P programs, they are actually funding the program itself. They make money from interests instead of each time the software gets share. This P2P program is great for sharing money and earning money for investors. One great example of P2P program is Kazaa, it's a place where people upload their files onto Kazaa where everybody gets to download it if they search up for it. You can find mp3s, documents, movies, and so forth. Once it's download to your computer, that file also gets shared to everybody else so it leads to faster downloading from other users. It usually seeds out the file that you downloaded so other users can download it at greater speed.
