Description
The complex world of online piracy and peer-to-peer file sharing is skillfully condensed into an easy-to-understand guide that provides insight into the criminal justice approach to illegal file sharing, while offering guidance to parents and students who have concerns about potential legal action in response to file-sharing activities. Oftentimes, those providing access to computers and file sharing capabilities—parents, schools, libraries—don't know about or understand digital piracy and, therefore, put themselves and their families and institutions at risk for criminal and civil prosecution. Understanding Online Piracy: The Truth about Illegal File Sharing describes the technological, legal, social, and ethical facets of illegal peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing. Geared toward parents, teachers, librarians, and to computer users engaged in file sharing, this book will help readers understand all forms of traditional and digital copyright violations of protected music, movies, and software.
