I chose to edit the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer Peer-to-peer] page. My changes were made under 71.232.202.201. I focused mainly on grammatical errors. The page contained very little information on legal issues surrounding P2P discussion. I will continue to update this page focusing more on the copyright question. My only concern was that if someone expresses their opinion, and you disagree, will the page just become a forum for debate or a competition to see who can get the final edit? I then compared the "Peer-to-peer" site with the "File sharing" site and notice that large sections were copied and pasted from one site to the other without any references. Could I start my own page, call it "File share" or "P2P", copy and paste everything from the "File sharing" or "Peer-to-peer" site, but with my opinions added and take full credit? Does it matter? If it does, is there a checking mechanism to block this kind of usage?

I chose to edit the facts section of the ProCD v. Zeidenberg page. My changes were made under ncassie. I decided to edit the fact section because it was a little thin and basically just stated that Zeidenberg purchased the program and copied it. I felt a little more information was needed on the size of the database and on ProCD's price strategy.

I thought Wikipedia was pretty easy to edit. I did not attempt any type of fancy formatting, so it may get more complicated if that is added in. But for the most part, editing an existing page seems pretty straightfoward.
