File sharing is a self explanatory term; Sharing files. File sharing is defined as the electronic sharing of digitally stored information, which are usually, documents, pictures, videos, and music. P2P file sharing is a system of file sharing by various amounts of people. Some of the big P2P file sharing systems which have been exposed via the media are Limewire and Napster but there are others that exist and others that have been shut down by the government.
The act of downloading files, particularly music, is very controversial because of the argument of it being ethically wrong and considered stealing. This brings me to the article released last year about the Minnesota mother who was fined $1.5 million for downloading 24 songs off of this P2P file sharing website called Kazaa.
I personally do not see anything wrong with using file sharing websites or systems. If you cannot afford buying an actual album of an artist you are a fan of, why not download it?
