P2P File Sharing

File sharing means when someone sends or shares files through one device to another through the access of the internet. One example could be someone sharing a video they found on the internet and sending it to their friend to their device.


P2P file Sharing is basically the same thing as file sharing but only focuses on two individuals. P2P file sharing is beneficiary to people because they can gain a lot just from a file being shared/transferred."People have swapped illegal copies of songs, television shows and movies on the Internet for years. The slow download process, often using a peer-to-peer technology called BitTorrent, required patience and a modicum of sophistication by users. Now, users do not even have to download"("Digital Pirates winning battle with studios"). This is an example of P2P File sharing because people just search for movies online for free on the internet without even downloading anymore due to someone sharing the file on the internet. Another example would be people taking out loans from other individuals which could be beneficial and risky at the same time.
