Whether you realize it or not, P2P software may continue running in the background and may be sharing files or folders on your computer. Each time someone downloads those files from you, you are violating the copyright. Copyright infringement is against the law regardless of whether you are downloading or sharing copyrighted files without permission. P2P software can also be a gateway for viruses, spyware, and other malware. When you install a peer-to-peer application, it may silently install malware onto your computer.
When you download files from a file sharing network like BItTorrent, the files could be malware disguised as songs or movies. When you try to listen to the song or watch the movie, you infect your computer instead. Peer-to-peer programs make lawbreaking extremely easy—so easy, in fact, it might not seem illegal at all. And, of course, only turn it off to download files you know to be safe. In Windows Defender, you can also change Edge's SmartScreen to merely warn you when you are about to download a file it deems suspicious instead of it outright blocking it.
You'll be able to click through the warning and override SmartScreen's concerns and download the file. Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic.
