P2P
File sharing is the public or private sharing, distributing, and transmitting of computer data or files in a network with different levels of access privilege. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing is a software program you download to directly edit another peers files without going through an intermediate server. You allow other users to access these media files. This P2P software explores for other connected computers on a P2P network to locate the files. With file sharing and P2P file sharing you can share multiple things such as photos, documents, music, and videos. P2P is very convenient and right at hand for businesses and for people in school as well. Who wants to sit in the library for four hours when we can just share our documents from home and work on it on our own time? P2P has generated many complications for movies and music as well just because now we can download anything for free. Nobody wants to pay $16 for one movie ticket. In "Digital Pirates Winning Battle with Studios", Stelter and Stone state that " Young people, in particular, conclude that if it's so easy, it can't be wrong."Due to illegal downloads, the revenue of the industry takes a huge toll. From my own experience, i download my music for free. I'm not going to go through itunes and pay $1.29 if i can just get the music for free in the same quality.

Yes, New Media has certainly made information more accessible to people's consumption. Though, I think there are still things that will not be the same in the virtual world, as they are in real. For instance, watching your favorite artist performing live is much more pleasurable, than just to listen him or her in headphones. Another example is enjoying physical book in the library, where you are surrounded by many bookshelves, will normally bring more inspiration and concentration than reading it from a phone at the home on a couch.
