P2P

File sharing is what any of use do when we distribute music files, documents, etc. Peer to peer file sharing is a little more evolved in the sense that you are on a P2P network. A blog post written by NMA Staff said that the "vast majority of viewers also contributed their own bandwidth and computing power to help deliver Steal this Film." I think it is very important to see the point they are making in that we should embrace and utilize P2P sharing and not shame it for what people may see as stealing. They also brought up the fact that they want to see what a "new media age might really look like, what its social and political shape might be, than focus solely on questions of revenue." Business is important but in terms of interest, it is great that people are trying to explore what new advances could be made with all the technology there is today.
