P2P File Sharing

File sharing is the use of distributing and providing access to digitally store information like computer programs. P2P file sharing is known as peer to peer file sharing. P2P file sharing uploads and downloads data from other users. This allows many people to share files with other people in the world. Many people share files through an USB flash drive where information is stored in the flash drive and can be uploaded to other computers. According to the article “Should Online Scofflaws Be Denied Web Access?” by Eric Pfanner, the American entertainment has accounted a loss of $20 billion a year in sales. Many lawmakers have vowed to increase the scrutiny of the international markets because piracy has been widespread. Companies aren’t able to make a lot of money like in the past due to the increased popularity of file sharing.
