COPYRIGHT & P2P
IMPORTANT NOTICE --- P2P United and it’s member companies remind all
peer-to-peer software users that – while P2P technology makes it
possible to share all kinds of information – some of that
information may both be protected by copyright and require the
copyright owner’s advance permission to make available to other P2P
users. This will often be the case with popular music and other
forms of entertainment, including game or other software.
Title 17 of the U.S. Code includes stiff penalties for copyright
infringement, including significant fines and – in severe cases –
even jail sentences. All P2P users are urged to respect copyright
laws and to learn more about them. The links below can help, but
represent just a fraction of the material available on this
important issue. Please contact us at P2P United with your
suggestions for other links that may make this page more useful.
