filesharing
Peer-to-peer exchange
Filesharing is the practice of distributing digital files—music, movies, software, documents—over a network.
The term rose to prominence with peer-to-peer services like Napster and BitTorrent, where users both download and upload content.
Filesharing often implies copyright infringement, though the technology itself is neutral: The studio sued thousands of users for illegal filesharing.
Also spelled file-sharing or file sharing.
