File sharing is one of the most essential things in the media world. It is one of the most important aspect for a lot of people's entertainment needs. In the digital world, file sharing is referred to as P2P or peer-to-peer. There are many websites that allow file sharing such as BitTorrent or UTorrent. These servers are complete legal but it is the content that are uploaded and downloaded from that are illegal. These systems allow the users to "torrent" movies or music that other peers have uploaded. Programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Microsoft Office can be found and download for free. The internet is impeccable.
