Narrowing The Path

Media piracy has boomed since the invention of the internet, and Peer to Peer (p2p) file sharing sites. Among the first of these sites are Napster, and Limewire, then the creation of BitTorrent and Utorrent. These sites allow people who have content, put the files online for free sharing.

I like to think that piracy can have negative effects and positive ones as well. Some media industry officials will claim that the exposure to so much content for free over the internet can increase the amount of content (music, movies, shows) that a user will be interested in. It is supposed to be all about the end-user isn't it?

This seems to be the direction my interest is taking me, searching for evidence and alternative views ofthe piracy battle.

we shall see..
