File Sharing

While in computer Apps 2 class we discussed the issues on file sharing. The topic we focused on the most was a company called “Lime Wire”. Lime wire is a free peer to peer file sharing website. The company has shut down due to the illegal use of the website. The website was allowing its users to download the songs without paying for the songs. The company can end up paying 1 billion dollars for its damages. Lime wire was one of the most famous places to download music. I do not believe the website should have shut down they should have came up with a method so the customers could pay less than other companies and that would have helped “Lime Wire” and the people who loves the web site. I remember my cousin’s would always use the website. When a new CD would come out they would always have it. I thought the police was going to come and lock them up. Then I learned about the situation in Mr.Morean class.
