Implications of using BitTorrent and other peer2peer software
Programs such as BitTorrent are popular for sharing and downloading files.
However, apart from the legalilty of sharing copyright material, there are serious security concerns that whilst someone might be downloading the latest James Bond film, "adult entertainment" or Dr Who episode... the P2P(Peer-2-Peer) software could also be used as an easy access tunnel into the user's computer.
