File Sharing Systems
It started back in 1999 when Shawn Fanning created Napster and developed the first peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing system to allow users to swap files of digitized copyrighted material. The recording industry not only denounced the free trading of these files, without any compensation to them or their recording artists, but was able to convince the courts to issue injunctions that prevented Napster (and later, Grokster) from trading copyrighted music on its network. Both Napster and Grokster were forced to shut down. In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against free downloading of copyrighted files.
Yet the P2P trend has resumed, with new programs and networks picking up the torch. The new generation of file sharing systems are designed as decentralized networks, which are proving to be much more challenging for copyright owners to pursue in the courts. As you most likely know, file sharing still exists, but the operations are outside of the jurisdiction of the U.S. court system. More recently, file sharing of movies has become a concern for the film industry and actors.
