Downloading media files involves the use of linking and framing Internet material,

and relates to copyright law. Streaming and downloading can involve making copies
of works that infringe on copyrights or other rights, and organizations running
such websites may become vicariously liable for copyright infringement by causing
others to do so.

Open hosting servers allows people to upload files to a central server, which
incurs bandwidth and hard disk space costs due to files generated with each
download. Anonymous and open hosting servers make it difficult to hold hosts
accountable. Taking legal action against the technologies behind unauthorized "file
sharing" has proven successful for centralized networks (such as Napster), and
untenable for decentralized networks like (Gnutella, BitTorrent).

Downloading and streaming relates to the more general usage of the Internet to
facilitate copyright infringement also known as "software piracy". As overt static
hosting to unauthorized copies of works (i.e. centralized networks) is often
quickly and uncontroversially rebuffed, legal issues have in recent years tended to
deal with the usage of dynamic web technologies (decentralized networks,
trackerless BitTorrents) to circumvent the ability of copyright owners to directly
engage particular distributors and consumers.
