Is the network monitored when they see that someone is sharing a file?
 
File sharing is NOT illegal.

However, sharing/trading copyrighted material IS illegal, as it violates the owner's copyright protection.
 
You may share files that you have permission to share. That means they are files (such as stories or papers) that you created.

You cannot legally share any copyright material without the permission of the copyright owner.
