"Peer-to-peer and file sharing services have moved into the main stream and are now well beyond the early days when a few of the early service providers ended up in litigation."
After many major peer to peer sites, such as KaZaa and Naptster were shut down, intrepid programmers created under the radar peer-to-peer file-sharing networks that the MPAA and RIAA could not touch.
Although many people may use a P2P (peer to peer) network everyday, many are unaware of how the system works, and what makes it such an efficient tool for sharing vital information from person to person.
The reason for the popularity of illegal file sharing on the internet through peer to peer networking is obvious - access to all the mp3 music files and computer programs with registration key code cracks you could ever want - for free.
P2P, or peer to peer, connectivity has changed the face of file sharing in the world. Thankfully, this service will never go away.
