Copyright
Infringement Liability - P2P technology makes
it possible to share all kinds of information.
Some information is protected by copyright, which
means that you generally need the copyright owner's
permission before you make it available to other
P2P users. Popular music, movies, games, and software
are often protected by copyright.
Copyright
infringement can result in significant monetary
damages, fines and even criminal penalties. Some
copyright owners have filed civil lawsuits against
individuals that they believe unlawfully distributed
large numbers of copyrighted songs.
Original
works of authorship, including literary, dramatic,
musical, artistic, and certain intellectual compositions
are protected by copyright law. If a person publicly
performs, reproduces, distributes copies, or displays

Copyright Infringement
]
Some files contained on these networks are copyrighted
works, like popular games, movies, music, and
software. P2P software makes it possible to upload
and download copyrighted material from the Internet
without proper authorization, but that can violate
copyright laws and subject you to criminal and
civil penalties. Please consult the user guide
provided with the application.
[
Data Security ]
P2P software allows any user to access the files
you place or move into your shared folder. If
you’re not careful, files containing your
personal and confidential information could inadvertently
be uploaded for distribution on the Internet.
This could cause a number of problems, including
identity theft. We strongly suggest purchasing
one of the major spyware applications available
or visit our bonus software section for a free
version.
[
Pornography ]
Files downloaded from the Internet using P2P software
could contain pornographic material. These files
may be mislabeled with seemingly innocent names.
This can result in users, including children,
being inadvertently exposed to pornography. Redistributing
files containing child pornography or obscene
content can be a crime.
[
Spyware ]
Files downloaded from the Internet using P2P software
may contain spyware that can track your online
activity, control your computer, or harm its operation.
These files typically are disguised and can go
undetected. We strongly suggest purchasing one
of the major spyware applications available or
visit our bonus software section for a free version.
[
Viruses ]
Files downloaded from the Internet using P2P software
may carry computer viruses, worms, or Trojans
that can damage your computer or cause other problems.
These files typically are mislabeled to disguise
their true purpose. We strongly suggest purchasing
one of the major anti-virus applications such
as Norton and Mcafee.
