P2P file sharing can be written out as peer-to-peer file sharing. This service allows for people to transfer very big files digitally without having to worry about file size restrictions.
In the article "BitTorrent Effect" talks about this company called BitTorrent that does just this. It was presented in 2002 at a hackers event was was designed for the community of people who would like to share big files such as programs form computer to computer without the hassle of having to wait for it. The article then goes on to explain how instead of the community BitTorrent thought they were going to attract, in turn they got people who watch TV and movies on their computer. Companies like BitTorrent have made it easier to basically torrent or rip information onto ones own personal computer.
My biggest negative for P2P sharing is that is allows copy written information to basically get stolen with no regard to the financial process that was behind.
