P2p Programs

My friend and I had a big arguement over what is illegal to download on free p2p programs. I believe that you cant dwnld copyrighted material. He says you can download copyrighted material and it is legal as long as you dont share it. can some1 help? thanks

 

You're right. If your friend downloads copyrighted material from someone else, that's still sharing. Didn't your friend learn in kindergarten that sharing goes both ways?

 

haha...thank you...and do you know the company that made that law so i can prove it to him?

 

It's federal copyright law, made by Congress. Ask any lawyer.

 

but the only ones to fight you on it is the Record Labels. the feds don't care cuase they don't lose any money on p2p.
