Why is it illegal to share computer and video games on peer-to-peer networks or through Bit Torrent sites?
It is illegal to post copyrighted materials to the Internet for copying or download through peer-to-peer networks without the expressed authorization of the rights holders. When individuals or groups place part or all of a copyrighted video or computer game on one of these networks or sites, it is a clear violation of U.S. copyright law. The activity on these networks is NOT sharing but copying.
