File Sharing

These problems can be circumvented by people coming up with new file sharing programs and new ways to share files. There are chat servers that people post songs and programs on. Laws always have ways of being worked around to make illegal actions not completely illegal. Trying to stop these programs causes more problems then it solves. The inevitable cannot be stopped which means people trying to stop these programs are in for a never ending task of constant bickering and fighting over who’s wrong and who’s right in the internet world of file sharing.

Programs like Napster are not the only way to share songs. Who can blame them? When it is free and they are not getting in any amount of trouble, why not? The creators of the songs and programs being downloaded are not too happy about people getting their property for free illegally. The people using these servers may be breaking laws, but this in no way can shutdown the server.

Napster has created a completely new breed of internet users. These servers cannot be shutdown because they are not violating anything. The people that put these items on the internet for sharing believe that if they purchased the product, then they have the right to do what they wish with it. Napster may have been basically stopped but other programs like it are available and many more to come in the future. In general, there are other ways of file sharing that cannot be shutdown. If they choose to share it with others, then why not? The law may try to stop the sharing of these programs and songs but it just is not going to work.
