Some view the Internet as an abandoned warehouse filled with free pictures, music, video, and text files fixed on a hard disk somewhere out there in cyberspace. Granted, some files are not protected by copyright law because the material contained in them has entered the public domain. In some instances, the use of certain files may constitute a fair use.1 On the other hand, the use and sharing of other files may lead to severe civil and criminal penalties.2
