Abstract

Peer-to-peer networks have gained a significant amount of popularity since their inception, being used in a wide variety of contexts; both legal and illegal. The demand for monitoring techniques able to analyse performance, identify copyright infringers and detect the presence of peer-to-peer traffic on networks has similarly risen. Along with them ethical issues have surfaced, awareness of which is essential when planning research requiring peer-to-peer monitoring. This paper discusses the collection of data through the monitoring of peer-to-peer networks and identifies areas of particular ethical concern in its use.
