file sharing is where—

  • “(a) material is uploaded via, or downloaded from, the Internet using an application or network that enables the simultaneous sharing of material between multiple users; and

  • “(b) uploading and downloading may, but need not, occur at the same time

     

    Someone Explain that to me..Confused

     

    So, (a) any program or network that allows for simultaneous sharing of material between multiple users, dropbox, tunngle, hamachi all these included, are at risk BUT (b) it doesn't matter whether you upload or download copyrighted material? 

     

    EDIT: So this doesn't affect only P2P Programs, It affects affects EVERY program that allows for simultaneous sharing, well damn, that affects MSN and multiple users in a Convo. They could all download the file at the same time. Am I right?

     

    As long as you have the program, you're fuc*ed?

Tungle and Hamachi both define themselves as peer-to-peer applications, so quite possibly. Dropbox isn't by default, but I believe it does have a peer-to-peer type option.

BUT (b) it doesn't matter whether you upload or download copyrighted material? 

I think what it's saying there is that uploading and downloading don't have to happen simultaneously. I'm not sure if it's saying the application has to have the capability of uploading and downloading at the same time for it to be covered by the new law or not.

As long as you have the program, you're fuc*ed?

Only if you're caught sharing copyrighted material with it.
