Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking is a popular method for sharing files, music, photographs and other information. Just remember that this method can come with its share of major risks. It is best to know with whom you are sharing data and files versus browsing for a site that you believe meets your criteria. The data you receive may be corrupted with malware or expose you to legal ramifications (e.g., copyrights, pirated software or music). So, be safe and know what your P2P buddy is offering before you load a copy onto your device.
