NounWikipedia has an article on: File sharing
Alternative spellingsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digitally stored information, such as computer programs, multi-media (audio, video), documents, or electronic books. It may be implemented in a variety of storage, transmission, and distribution models. Common methods are manual sharing using removable media, centralized computer file server installations on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, and the use of distributed peer-to-peer (P2P) networking. File sharing is not of itself illegal. However, the increasing popularity of the mp3 music format in the late 1990s led to the release and growth of Napster and other software that aided the sharing of electronic files. This in practice led to a huge growth in illegal file sharing: the sharing of copyright protected files without permission. Although the original Napster service was shut down by court order, it paved the way for decentralized peer-to-peer file sharing networks such as Gnutella, Gnutella2, eDonkey2000, the now-defunct Kazaa network, and BitTorrent. Many file sharing networks and services, accused of facilitating illegal file sharing, have been shut down due to litigation by groups such as the RIAA and MPAA. During the early 2000s, the fight against copyright infringement expanded into lawsuits against individual users of file sharing software. The economic impact of illegal file sharing on media industries is disputed. Some studies conclude that unauthorized downloading of movies, music and software is unequivocally damaging the economy, while other studies suggest file sharing is not the primary cause of declines in sales. Illegal file sharing remains widespread, with mixed public opinion about the morality of the practice. From Wikipedia under the

My website has direct links to file sharing websites like rapid share and romulation. Is it illegal for me to have that posted? I want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong before I get going. It is just a link to the page where you start your download. I'm not to clear on the TPB law. Thanks. Asked by Conor - Fri May 15 13:30:47 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. It is probably not illegal by real world laws. But to answer that exactly you would have to say where you live, where the website is hosted (what state is the server in), and the company hosting it (what country/state is the company "homed" in). However there is also Internet Law. People think internet has no rules and regulations but it does. The internet servers that help you put your site onto the internet can delete your webpage and your account if they wish. I wouldnt go making any big noise about your "rights". If the Terms of Service (ToS) or Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) of the site your website is on mentions such actions then thats a definate hint. But it doesnt actually have to say it. Its their servers and they can delete you… [cont.] Answered by Gandalf Parker - Sun May 17 20:40:06 2009 shared router: How do I block 1 user from viewing other users who have simple file sharing enabled?
