Hello I am a university student who majors in a law in Korea. The
following paragraph is a part of 'Licence Agreement' of the p2p
companies.

==================================================================
? iMesh
.... Put simply, as an iMesh user you agree to respect copyrights in the
Songs import. Don't use iMesh to steal music! If you violate the
copyright laws or any other intellectual property laws, fines or
criminal charges may be brought against you. You may even go to jail.
Do you really want to go to jail? They may not let you take your iMesh
with you.

?bittorren
BitTorrent will have the right to investigate and prosecute violations
of any of the above restrictions, including but not limited to
intellectual property rights infringement and Sites security issues, to
the fullest extent of the law...

?limewire
What happens if I commit copyright infringement?
Your activities on peer-to-peer networks such as LimeWire's may be
monitored by copyright owners. By committing copyright infringement
your risks include significant settlement fees if you are sued.
Copyright owners have sued thousands of people for online copyright
infringement. Don't be the next one!

=======================================================================

Is this a correct claim in legally???


Yes, you can get in trouble for trading media files online. The P2P
guys put the warnings in there to remind you that what you're doing is
shady, and to cover their arse if you get caught. The thing for you to do
is use P2P responsibly. Don't get greedy or stupid.
