There are a few best practices to keep in mind when downloading and sharing files online. Firstly, it is important to make sure that the copyright holder has granted permission for downloads and/or shared copies of the work. Copying and downloading files without permission can result in serious penalties under copyright law. Additionally, it is important to check for any user licenses before downloading or redistributing content. This applies especially when sharing content through peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, as some users may have designated their works as “copy freely.” Finally, if there is any doubt about ownership or legal permissibility of using a certain file, it's best to err on the side of caution and avoid duplication altogether. In sum, the most effective way to avoid copyright infringement is simply to ask yourself: can I legally share this? If not, don't do it.
