Peer to Peer software sharing
Dear all,
A great deal of Wannabe training material is now produced in digital formats. These can often be 'shared' by means of the various Peer-to-Peer networks in existence.
Such 'sharing' nearly always involves breaching copyright.
Because of this legal fact and also because of the moral argument PPRuNe does not condone such behaviour. Followingly we do not allow discussion of P2P matters on the Wannabes forums.
I can readily understand the motivations to obtain valuable training materials at no cost. I can understand the often altruistic nature of those offering to share such materials. It went on for years with people swapping paper notes from different schools and colleges.
In the not so distant past I well remember myself swapping a carrier bag of used PPSC notes for a carrier bag full of used OATS notes.
However, P2P has the scope to totally undermine what is not a very big industry.
Therefore a policy of zero tolerance is in place.
Many thanks,
