File sharing is simply giving access to digital information, such as computer programs, pictures and videos, or e books. It has gotten pretty big over the years now that technology is so important to us. You can share files in a few different ways, like web based hyperlinks, through computer networks, or by peer-to-peer sharing, which many of us use today.
P2P sharing is a pretty exceptional way of sharing files between two users. A most common website that features P2P sharing, as noted by Chris Nuttall in his article "Valley View: Filesharing Joins The Mainstream", is BitTorrent. Here, you can download huge files like movies and other videos directly from another user. At first, you might think movie industries wouldnt let this fly, and you would be right. However, according to Nuttall, BitTorrent has "made peace" with the Hollywood studios and allowed them to distribute these movies. BitTorrent works so well because it downloads files so fast. It used to be where the more people who downloaded the same file, the slower it would be. With P2P file sharing, the more people that download the same file, the faster it typically downloads. You cant ask for anything better in this situation.
Jamie King's article "Take Advantage of P2P-Not Fear It", also mentions another huge P2P website, Pirate Bay. Between this and BitTorrent, you have all the movies, shows, and videos you can ever imagine
