In my TINST 207 class, a group of six people presented on the book Steal This File Sharing Book : What They Won't Tell You About File Sharing by Wallace Wang. The overall summary about the book was it tells you how to go about downloading music, movies, and anything that is software online illegally.
They began by talking about Napster and that is was released in 1999, had over 26 million users in 2001, and had crashed in 2001 due to having a centralized network server, which every users on the software had to go through in order to download content from another user. They also talked about the pros and cons of Burning CDs. A pro is that you pretty much won't get in trouble for doing it because everyone practically does it. They then got into the pros and cons of File Sharing Networks. A pro is that it's easy to use; it takes a click of a button for you to get what you want. A con would be that the download speed on the network varies; so you might have to wait a LONG time before you get the content you want.
