Peer-to-peer file sharing is the distribution and sharing of
digital media using
peer-to-peer (P2P) networking technology. P2P
file sharing allows users to access media files such as books, music, movies, and games using a P2P software program that searches for other connected computers on a P2P network to locate the desired content. The nodes (peers) of such networks are end-user computer systems that are interconnected via the
Internet.
