Answer #1

Having a P2P program is not illegal. Downloading pirated content is illegal.

Answer #2

Colleens right it’s not illegal to have the program it’s illegal to download or upload copyrighted content without the proper consent of the respective owners. Hope this helps :D

Answer #3

but how do you know if its pirated or not??

Answer #4

if it’s a song by a band, a program, a movie, or a book that was not created by you is copyrighted most of the time

Answer #5

if you have to buy it then its copyrighted basically in store or online

Answer #7

The program it’s self is not illegal. The actions you preform with it, however, are. It is illegal to download music that you have not paid for. When you download with Frostwire (or any other p2p program) it’s considered piracy.
