  • The Inter­net enables fast, simp­le data exch­an­ge in many are­as (art, media, sci­ence) thanks to high trans­mis­si­on rates.
  • P2P file-sha­ring net­works faci­li­ta­te mass, free and high-qua­li­ty copy­right inf­rin­ge­ments through the direct exch­an­ge of stored files.

Thanks to high trans­mis­si­on rates, it is now pos­si­ble to down­load data quick­ly and easi­ly from the Inter­net. The world­wi­de web offers new pos­si­bi­li­ties for exchan­ging data, whe­ther in the field of art, news or sci­ence. At the same time, the Inter­net faci­li­ta­tes attacks on copy­right, espe­ci­al­ly via file-sha­ring net­works. The­se exch­an­ges (cal­led “peer-to-peer” or P2P) allow users to exch­an­ge data in any for­mat (music files, movies, soft­ware, images, texts); the­se data are stored on the respec­ti­ve com­pu­ter and the exch­an­ge is free, on a lar­ge sca­le and wit­hout loss of quality.
