File_Sharing

File Sharing Internet File Sharing: What is the big problem' File sharing has been the greatest advancement to the digital world, and I believe downloading music and internet file sharing should be legal. I am addressing the RIAA, Recording Industry of America. I am also speaking to people who believe downloading music is piracy or fraud. That idea is completely ridiculous. The technology that has developed over the past several years has been extremely amazing. Downloading music is also called file swapping and P2P (Peer to Peer Networking). Downloading music works in a specific way. Every computer on a File Swapping network has an IP address. An IP address is an Internet Protocol. It is like having a street address for your computer so all computers on a network can identify each other. This is how the RIAA is catching people who download a large amount of bandwidth. The music industry is able to scan computers through IP which tells them which computers are on an active port downloading music. They are then able to get the service provider and home address of the PC user. I believe people should be able to expand their knowledge in the music world and download or music, should, downloading, file, download, sharing, programs, riaa, people, address, swapping, over, media, ip, internet, computers, computer, choice, believe, able, world, through, ridiculous, recording, program, person, peer, pc, p2p, others, organization, network, legal, large, industry, hard
