The legal claim for this type of behavior is usually expressed in terms of alleged "copyright infringement. Rather, it is acting upon an allegation received by a representative of a studio or record company. Q: What is a peer-to-peer "P2P" network? In very basic terms, a P2P network is created when multiple users install software on their computers that allows each user to act as a 'server' and share information directly with other users, or peers, as part of a de-centralized network.
Q: Are P2P networks illegal? P2P networks are not illegal and they have many legitimate uses. However, trading and disseminating copyrighted material over a P2P network without authorization or a legal right to do so is not a legitimate use. P2P software is what provides Internet users with the ability to trade material, files and data over a P2P network. It does not mean that ALL information that is shared over the network is included for the price of the software.
Illegal or stolen material traded over a P2P network, is still illegal. Q: Where can I go to legally obtain this material? Consumers finally have options that allow for the legal downloading of entertainment content - usually for a fee. Likewise, there are a number of legitimate sites for the purchase of video content such as CinemaNow, Vongo, ifilm, MovieLink, Movieflix and AtomFilms.
Major television networks also provide free access to television shows via their Web sites. Q: Are P2P networks the only place that copyright infringed material is available on the Internet? While P2P networks are the mechanism by which a large majority of copyright infringed material is shared, it is not the only mechanism. There are a number of Web sites that allow users to listen, watch or download this type of material for free.

Children and teens may be more knowledgeable than you think about the availability of this material and have been reported by the recording and motion picture industry as the largest demographic group associated with downloading or sharing songs and movies.
