Torrent sites are used around the world. Thousands of Applications,
Games, Music, etc. are found on these sites, along with cracks, serials, eBooks and Hacking Tools. Computer fanatics congregate to share and take as they please. The government tries to regulate these sites by restricting content, "going in for a look", or even shutting them down permanently. Major torrent sites such as Meganova.org, Mininova.org, demonoid.com,
the list goes on and on. Of the three above two of them have been limited or permanently shut down by the judicial court. Peer-to-Peer(P2P) sharing is becoming more and more common, just as well as a threat to the government.

Many people ask, "What is it about torrenting/file-sharing that is so bad?". Well, many things transmitted from peer to peer or from a centralized network; are usually not completely legal. Many people say downloading things that aren't yours is illegal, but many people counter that with "I'm just downloading a huge pattern of 1's and 0's, there's nothing illegal about it."

The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) has released its report on Digital Music

2009. Despite efforts of the music industry, around 95% of downloaded music is
illegal. Music is one of the most shared files on the internet, along with the easiest to transport
with its small size and easy compatibility. They can be burned to discs, put on flash drives, or even emailed. Since most of the population has grown up with the internet, file sharing, and a progressive knowledge of where to find certain files "free of charge", the music industry has taken a solid hit.
