What is P2P software?

Peer-to-peer (P2P) software allows “peers” (individual computer systems) to connect to each other over  the internet to share files. Examples of mainstream P2P software programs include BitTorrent, Limewire, Ares and AresWarez, Kazaa, Azureus, DC++ and Morpheus.

File Sharing
  • Are there risks to running P2P software on my computer?
  • What is fair use of copyrighted materials?
  • How do I know what is or is not protected by copyright laws?
  • What are the consequences if I am discovered sharing illegal content on CWI’s network?
  • I clicked on the “I Will Comply” button but my internet access was never restored. How do I get this fixed?
  • What else may happen if I am found to be sharing copyrighted content?
  • I received an Anti-Piracy Warning webpage, is this valid?
  • I received the anti-piracy warning webpage but it doesn’t tell me what I was sharing or downloading. Why is this?
