File sharing is basically the exchange of a file or document from one computer to another. This can be done offline using USB sticks or online through the use of our very good friend, the internet. P2P file sharing, or peer to peer file sharing is done through the use of similar software makeup on the devices being used. As long as the software is compatible and the memory space is sufficient anything can be transferred. One example is how people download music. Torrents files that contain music, audio, pictures, or documents that can be downloaded by anyone as long as they have to correct application. I download my music by searching for the album torrent and downloading it through a peer who already has downloaded it onto their computer. "Digital Pirates Winning Battle With Studios," explains how digital piracy is effecting the revenues of the film industry. It wasn't explained in the article but they're many more industries being effected by digital piracy.
