P2P File Sharing

File sharing is sharing and providing the access to digital media such as images, music, videos and computer programs and other type of files. From file sharing, one can store the files, transmit and get an access to the files on any computers and from anywhere. P2P, Peer to Peer, file sharing is sharing files among people using P2P networking technology. When the user is on this software, he or she can search and get an access to files from the computers of other users on the software. The software allows people to share files, such as music, video, images and documents. One example of P2P software is 4Shared.com. On this website, you can search for songs, videos or other documents and download them. The other users share the files and look for the file that they want as well. From the article called "Content producers should take advantage of P2P, not fear it", P2P sites can create attention needed to bring big audience to the film called Steal This Film. According to article, the author wrote, "The Pirate Bay, with its millions of unique daily users, was the initial point of explosion of interest in Steal This Film." This is a great example how P2P helps to spread the awareness of the film and bring more audience.
