Peer-to-peer networks, aka p2p networks, have been around since the birth of the internet. They are created similar to a network with the "ad-hok' architecture where the computers act with each other through a common folder; a "shared" folder. Peer to peer networks are famous for file sharer's exploiting of it to share music and other files. because of the seemingly endless use of p2p networks for illegal actions, these networks are closely monitored for copyright infringement and have landed many people in jail.
