P2P is peer-to-peer, a means of allowing one computer to communicate with another to exchange files. By itself, it's no more illegal than a hammer or a saw is.

When properly used, all of those tools benefit the parties involved.

Use a hammer to break a window, however, and you may be approaching illegal activity. Depends on whose window it is [img]smile.gif[/img] Use P2P software to share software that is not licensed to be shared that way, and you may also be approaching illegal activity.

It's not the tool that's a problem; it's the use of the tool.
