File sharing

N. van Eijk · UvA-DARE (University of Amsterdam) · 2011

‘File sharing’ has become generally accepted on the Internet. Users share files for downloading music, films, games, software etc. In this note, we have a closer look at the definition of file sharing, the legal and policy-based context as well as enforcement issues. The economic and cultural impact, too, is dealt with briefly. The conclusions and recommendations promote a cautious approach.

File Sharing and the History of Computing: Or, Why File Sharing is Called “File Sharing”

Nicholas John · Critical Studies in Media Communication · 2013

Attempts by the state and the entertainment industry to impose the term “piracy” on practices of digital file sharing have been challenged by academics and activists alike. The notion of “file sharing,” however, seems to have escaped our attention. By placing that term in the context of the history of computing, where sharing of different kinds has always been a central feature, and by drawing on a nuanced understanding of the many meanings of “sharing,” this article shows that “file sharing,” unlike “piracy,” is a bottom-up term that has emerged from the field itself. The article shows that those who oppose the term “file sharing” certainly have good strategic reason to do so: sharing is by definition a positive social value and bestows a warm glow upon that which it touches. It is argued, though, that we should not allow the “war on piracy” metaphor to gain the ascendancy—not only because “piracy” is a such a negative term, and not only for strategic reasons, but also, and mainly, because when we call file sharing “file sharing” we are issuing a critical challenge to the current copyright regime.

Online File Sharing

Jonas Andersson Schwarz · 2013

It is apparent that file sharing on the Internet has become an emerging norm of media consumption—especially among young people. This book provides a critical perspective on this phenomenon, exploring issues related to file sharing, downloading, peer-to-peer networks, "piracy," and (not least) policy issues regarding these practices. Andersson Schwartz critically engages with the justificatory discourses of the actual file-sharers, taking Sweden as a geographic focus. By focusing on the example of Sweden—home to both The Pirate Bay and Spotify—he provides a unique insight into a mentality that drives both innovation and deviance and accommodates sharing in both its unadulterated and its compliant, business-friendly forms.

Secure file sharing

Rakan A. Alsowail · Figshare · 2016

File sharing has become an indispensable part of our daily lives. The shared files might be sensitive, thus, their confidentially, integrity and availability should be protected. Such protection might be against external threats that are initiated by unauthorised users or insider threats that are initiated by authorised users. Our main interest in this thesis is with insider threats. Protecting shared files against insiders is a challenging problem. Insiders enjoy various characteristics such as being trusted and authorised, in addition to being inside the network perimeter and having knowledge of information systems. This makes it difficult to prevent or detect policy violation for these users. The goal of this thesis is to protect shared files from the perspective of insider security with language-based techniques. In the first part of the thesis, we define what we mean by an insider and the insider problem precisely, and propose an approach to classify the insider problem into different categories. We then define and focus on one category that is related to file sharing. Namely, protecting the confidentiality and integrity of the shared files against accidental misuse by insiders. Furthermore, we classify the activity of file sharing into different categories that describe all possible ways of performing the activity of file sharing. These categories represent policies that describe how files should be propagated and accessed by insiders. We show that enforcing these policies can protect the files against accidental misuse by insiders while allowing the activity of sharing to be performed as desired. Thus our interest can be summarised as keeping honest users safe. In the second part of the thesis, we develop a security type system that statically enforces information flow and access control policies in a file system. Files are associated with security types that represent security policies, and programs are sets of operations to be performed on files such as read, copy, move, etc. A type checker, therefore, will statically check each operation to be performed on a file and determine whether the operation satisfies the policy of the file. We prove that our type system is sound and develop a type reconstruction algorithm and prove its soundness and completeness. The type system we developed in this thesis protects the files against accidental misuse by insiders.
