File sharing

samedi 30 avril 2016 à 02:00

In places where ISPs make users pay to access anything but Facebook and/or Wikipedia, they use those services for file sharing.

File sharing is good, and ought to be legal. Shame on that article for supporting the publishers' smear campaign by calling sharing "piracy".

I understand that Wikipedia does not want to be a site for file sharing. Besides which, it has a specific purpose, and letting people post whatever they wish is not it. Still, they should not support the smear campaign.

It is also a mistake to refer to works as "content".
