File sharing is the ability to share files from one computer to another over the internet. It is extremely convenient and useful for the general users and corporations as well. It can be done in a number of ways. For example, manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, the internet, and P2P networks.
P2P sharing is short for peer to peer. It refers to computer networks that use a "distributed architecture." This means that all devices that are connected to this same network will share the workloads. This meant that each "peer" in the network is equal to the other "peers" and that there is no centralized owner of the network. The primary advantage of P2P sharing is for all "peers" to work together to deliver a specific service or perform a particular task.
In "Content Producers Should take Advantage of P2P, Not Fear it" NMA Staff talks about why producers should stop preventing users to pirate their materials but instead start encouraging them to appreciate their work. Regardless of what producers have done over the years to prevent pirating and torrent sharing, results have been minimal. P2P giants like PirateBay are still operating and the hundreds of thousands of daily users have not been punished by law. The article suggests that preventing P2P sharing is only a short and medium term effort but it will not have longlasting effects. Instead, content producers can initiate a donation system where people may donate whatever amount to view or download these medias. Some other examples of P2P file sharing are BitTorrent for movies, video games, music, and media files, Tribler for file sharing, and much more for various purposes.
