File sharing is something we all do especially as students. File sharing is basically where people send files including information and data which can be accessed by hundreds of people at the same time online. It is where people have the ability to share information on a mass scale through public platforms such as the internet. People can exchange audios, ebooks, videos, movies, images and much more through files on the internet. P2P file sharing is the exchange of these types of files from one individual to another one for example if I send an ebook to my classmate that would be considered P2P file sharing, it is basically an interaction done between two people through the P2P network. An example of P2P file sharing website is "The Pirate Bey, with its millions of unique daily users, was the initial point of explosion of interest in Steal This Film"(NMA Staff). Through this they were able to get many people to download more movies and the numbers increased by a lot. This P2P file sharing allowed the documentary to be shared to many people.
