Illegal File Sharing

File sharing is growing continuously because of how many people use the internet to transfer files. Some downloadable programs such as kazaa, and limewire are programs that connect you to a data base of files, music, etc. all the files are shared from people that share their files. File sharing files such as music, and software is illegal because of the copyright law that is enforced in the United States. Even with the law file sharing is still continued and progressing people have been caught downloading music and files, the consequences vary with the individuals circumstances. I myself do not use programs such as limewire or kazaa because I do not want to get in trouble for breaking the copyright law.

There are times when I wish I had a file sharing network, such as when new songs come out that I am wanting. To get them the legal way you must buy the whole cd and if the rest of the cd is not what you like then you are wasting your money. I see people all the time with Ipods listening to all their music. I have noticed that people that use I-Tunes have less music then people that download from limewire or kazaa because its free and I-Tunes charges .99 for one song. So for me a individual that likes a variety of music and a lot of it, the price begins to get expensive. I wonder if file sharing will ever be able to be monitored, because of how technology is progressing so rapidly. I am interested in illegal file sharing because there is a huge population that participates in it, and I want to see what the outcomes are and will be.
