File sharing is a common thing I feel is in the workforce. People within a company work together and sometimes need to know the same information. File sharing is the ability to transmit files from one computer to another through either a network or the internet. Besides the basic file sharing there is also P2P. P2P is peer to peer file sharing. P2P is the form of sharing and distributing digital media through peer to peer network sharing. In the article "Peers Find Less Pressure Borrowing From Each Other" by Wendy Kaufman talks about a from of P2P. In the article Kaufman talks about a woman who cant get a loan for her credit card debt and even if she could the interest rates were very high. Instead of going to a bank she used Lending Club which helped her get a loan at a reasonable rate of 6%. Instead of bank helping her out, her peers did instead. Another example of P2P is Gnutella. Gnutella allows connecting to the network and sending out a request for a file the individual wants to download.
