Pedro's Term Presentation

Pedro's presentation consisted of P2P file sharing. What is p2p file sharing? P2P file sharing is the sharing of copyrighted and non-copyrighted material through personal computers which become servers. All users provide uploading files so there is no single file. As persons complete downloading these files they share these files with new users. As a result, p2p becomes a community based on information sharing. Moreover, Pedro addresses the issue of copyright infringement which is the unauthorized use of copyrighted material. In addition, he also presented the case of Pirate Bay which was charge for copyright infringement. As a result, the Pirate Bay website was shutdown and was sued.
I think Pedro's research project was really good. He explained the definition of P2P file sharing. He showed both views of the persons in favor and the persons against p2p file sharing. I liked the way that Pedro presented the information since it was unique. I really enjoyed the fact that Pedro included an interview of the founders of the Pirate Bay bittorrent site. Overall, the presentation was really good.
