Is it legal to download works from peer-to-peer networks? If it is not legal, what is the fine for doing so?
 

Downloading copyrighted works for commercial purposes without the authority of the copyright holder constitutes an infringement of the exclusive rights of reproduction and/or distribution of the copyright holder. Anyone found guilty of infringing a copyrighted work may be liable for legal damages of up to $25,000 USD for each infringed work, and if the copyright holder proves it is a deliberate infringement, that amount can be raised to $150,000 USD for each infringed work. In addition, the infringer of a work may also be liable for the fees the copyright holder had to pay to their attorney to enforce their rights.
 

Whether a specific work is available or not under the authority of the copyright holder is a matter of fact. But since any original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium (which includes a computer file) is protected by federal copyright law from the moment of its creation, in the absence of clear information to the contrary, it is assumed that most works are protected under federal copyright law.
 

Since files distributed through peer-to-peer networks are generally copyrighted works, there is a risk of liability for downloading material from these networks. To avoid these risks, there are currently many "authorized" services on the Internet that allow customers to purchase copyrighted works online, whether music, e-books, or motion pictures. By purchasing works through authorized services, customers can avoid the risks of liability for infringement and limit their exposure to other potential risks, such as viruses, unexpected material, or spyware.
