| Abstract | ‘File sharing’ has become generally accepted on the Internet. Users share files for downloading music, films, games, software etc. In this note, we have a closer look at the definition of file sharing, the legal and policy-based context as well as enforcement issues. The economic and cultural impact, too, is dealt with briefly. The conclusions and recommendations promote a cautious approach. |
