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.
