What is P2P software?

Peer-to-peer (P2P) software allows “peers” (individual computer systems) to connect to each other over  the internet to share files. Examples of mainstream P2P software programs include BitTorrent, Limewire, Ares and AresWarez, Kazaa, Azureus, DC++ and Morpheus.

File Sharing
  • I clicked on the “I Will Comply” button but my internet access was never restored. How do I get this fixed?
  • What else may happen if I am found to be sharing copyrighted content?
  • I received an Anti-Piracy Warning webpage, is this valid?
  • I received the anti-piracy warning webpage but it doesn’t tell me what I was sharing or downloading. Why is this?
  • How are sanctions determined?
  • What is the Electronic Technology Usage Policy?
  • I don’t always see the Anti-Piracy web page when downloading or sharing files using P2P does this mean that I wasn’t detected?
  • What is the MPAA?
