Wiki So Far

So far, I have been working on the Marketing page on our class wiki, even though it had a lot of content already, I decided to edit and remake the page. I felt that the page needed up to date information on marketing, like the marketing trends that are happening now, such as the marketing tools, the new avenues marketers are going, and how it is being seen in today's world. I am not finished with the page as yet; there is still some more information that is needed.

P2P

File sharing is the public or private sharing of computer data in a network. The files that are shared can be accessed by individuals that are on that same network. File sharing allows a number of people to use the same file, being able to read or view it, write to or modify it, copy it, or print it. P2P, on the other hand, is a type of file sharing that allows users to access media files such as books, music, movies, and games using a P2P software program that searches for other connected computers on a P2P network to locate the desired content. For example, a film called 'Steal This Film' was shared on P2P sites such as Pirate Bay, BitTorrent, etc.., allowing over 3 million people to watch the film, according to Jamie King. Another example of P2P sharing is downloading music on sites like BitTorrent, and Free Music Download, when they aren't even available to be downloaded for free.
