File sharing is sharing various types of media (music,
software, applications, movies), through technology and digitally. I would say
the most popular one is illegally downloading music, because who do you know that
actually still pays over $1.00 for each song on their ipod? Some artists, like
Taylor Swift, got extremely annoyed with it that they took their music off of Spotify.
PTP is a type of file sharing, but it has to happen between two peers, it stands
for peer to peer. Often times, peer to peer sharing can be illegal, such as
illegally downloading movies that are still in theatres, and not paying for
them. Another example is peers copying exams or homework off of each other.
There are many different uses and it is important to understand which ones are
authorized and legal. One type of sharing done that has caught attention of
many is Gmail enabling their images by default. Previously, they would disable
many inappropriate images in order to protect their users, but now they are
enabling them all (Econsultancy).

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI find it important how you mentioned the whole issue regarding paying for music, and how Taylor Swift is a strong advocate against illegal and free ways to access music. This is a very current issue that affects all types of artists (actors, musicians, etc.), and at the same time is affects those who consume the music, movies, etc. If the whole entire entertainment industry banded together to go against P2P illegal sharing, it would surely change the shape of the industry!
