of a much larger file at the same time, sharing their pieces with other people who are downloading the file while acquiring new pieces. This process is guided by a very small file called a torrent that permits this transfer to take place by acting similar to a radio frequency. Downloading and running this torrent file will allow you to participate in the information exchange this allows the file transfer to be much faster, seeing as multiple incoming sources exist simultaneously as outgoing sources
BitTorrent utilizes a “swarm” method of downloading and uploading. A swarm is a group of computers that all have the desired torrent file available for downloading. Computers enter the swarm by accessing a torrent file (file extension is generally .torrent) via a torrent client such as BitTorrent, uTorrent, Vuze, Transmission, or many others. Trackers are located inside torrent files that keep track of connected computers. The tracker communicates with the other computers in the swarm and shares their
Dylan Crees Iowa State University Philosophy 343 - Dr. Tsou May 4th, 2016 P2P File Sharing of Copyrighted Material Introduction Anyone who owns a computer that has a reliable internet connection can potentially download a torrent client and participate in peer-to-peer file sharing.

these people involved should be supported with some "policies for ethical conduct" i.e. policies that guide their actions and increase adequacy of the decisions they make. (Szejko par. 1) With the rapid infusion of computers, software and related technologies into homes, schools and businesses, we initially focused our energies on learning about the technologies and how to use them.

The belief that through the scientific paradigm, man could open up nature’s mysteries for the benefit of the human race and therefore, have the capacity to know and control all aspects of human existence prompted fears and concerns which underpin Shelley’s composition.

The reason behind this claim is both business oriented and ethical. The motel failed to provide accommodation to blacks, which is outright discrimination based on race.

This unleashes a torrent of wretched happenings that eventually drowns Frankenstein, the Creature, and many innocent lives in a cascade of carnage and misery. The story proves Frankenstein has a moral and ethical duty to provide education, care, and compassion for his creature because society as a whole must take care of its members, for a well-rounded education is

On a basic level, it could be argued that Victor’s search for knowledge
