Does anybody know the PC program called "Ares"?

Question

How does it work? Honestly, is it legal? I mean, doesn't it go against the reserved rights of movies, music, pictures, etc?

Answer 1

It's a peer to peer file sharing program. The program is perfectly legal as long as you use it for legal purposes, such as sharing your own home videos. If you use it to copy other people's stuff without their permission, like professional movies, you are committing a federal crime.
