From Bradley Mitchell, your Guide to Computer Networking
The famous $220,000 P2P file sharing suit has dragged on since 2007 with no end in sight anytime soon. Fortunately, many MP3 files on Amazon or iTunes still only cost $1 each.

Introduction to Network File Sharing
Computer networks allow you to share files with friends, family, coworkers and customers. Before the Internet and home networks became popular, files were often shared using floppy disks. Some people still use CD-ROMs or USB keys for transfering their photos and videos, but networks give you more flexible options. (P2P networks can be used legally for this, too.)

How Business Networks Get Hacked
When a well-known corporation has its network security breached, news outlets tend to cover it well. But what about all the smaller businesses out there whose sensitive information is just as susceptible to attack. They may not be able to invest as much in security protection, but at least they can study and learn from these high-profile incidents.

READERS RESPOND: How Much Does Your Internet Cost?
From the Netherlands: "We have a 65$ contact with cable provider Ziggo. A bit expensive, but I get 6 Mbps (7.5MB download, solid). I'm not sure about upload but that goes pretty quick too. By the way, this contract includes 12 HD channels and maybe 70 or so regular ones."
