Is p2p software illegal ? No, the software is not illegal.
Alot of users download files through P2P services without realising that the files may be protected by copyright laws.
The files that you download using a P2P may have been illegally obtained initially, or may have been legitimately purchased, but are still covered by intellectual copyright. Sharing such material without the permission of the copyright holder is going against international law. So,it is illegal to use P2P to share copyrighted files without permission.
File sharing is a legal technology with legal uses, But downloading materials without permission or authorization, is known as copyright infringement.
