Peer to Peer Sharing
Whenever there is a restriction to access data ( video,audio,picture etc ) in this inter networked world there is always an alternative technology. In that way I love torrent protocol which is a weapon to kill the denial of data. I am one of those family of Michel Moore who hates Digital Rights management ( Which is created by Rich for Rich to be Rich).
Well , Traditionally or Primarily data accessed from a server or service provider ( Web Server) by a client ( Browser ). So one or more client access the server and view/download data from server. Since Server is key storage place of information, privacy policies can be imposed here like pay to use/should be 18/Only in America.
Imagine if every client turns to be server and every server is a client . Oops we form an ad-hoc network. In where there is no server or no client , there are only peers. Peers always have freedom to share whatever information they are willing to share. Torrent protocol works in this way. Torrent is a peer to peer to communication protocol to share data's.
