FTC Issues Warning on File Sharing

From the Federal Trade Commission Consumer Alert, File-Sharing: A Fair Share? Maybe Not:

  • “…file-sharing can have a number of risks. For example, when you are connected to file-sharing programs, you may unknowingly allow others to copy private files you never intended to share. You may download material that is protected by the copyright laws and find yourself mired in legal issues. You may download a virus or facilitate a security breach.”
