Re: sure it is!
Actually, people will install the program with default settings not knowing or realizing that whatever they download gets stuck in a shared folder and shared again.
They just wanna get free music, etc.
I knew someone like that, called me because his connection was soooo slow, found their little file-sharing program (e-donk I think) was sharing anything they downloaded and was filling up the upstream bandwidth. They had no idea that would happen, (User in need of clue).
Not saying is good of bad just adding insight for mix.

It sounds like those people are worse than ignorant; they lack a basic grasp of the English language. Perhaps we should insist on a literacy test before selling people computers. Geez! I have to prove my competence before California will allow be to drive a car on their freeways, or buy a gun!
