My son wanted to download a software program from a website which lets you get millions of files free. You use their software, and it is also free. So I am really wondering whether this is legal or illegal. The subject of music file sharing is touchy and I really am not sure what I should let him do on my computer, I do not want any trouble. What is Ares? It is the name of the software program which you use to share files, and can be called peer to peer, or file sharing. The media is usually music, games, or movies, and I am really confused about it all.
File sharing and the ramifications
Okay, you want to download a file sharing software program. It will allow you to share your files with others, and them with you. You have to be sure that what you are sharing or getting is not copyrighted. Of course most will be, and though the software program is not illegal, everyone had doubts as to whether the sharing of music files is a rip off to the artist or label companies. What is Ares? Well that is one of many music and media utilities which will help you search and find the music you want. As for the rest of it, you be the judge.
