Abstract
Content owners have successfully held P2P software providers liable for their users' infringements in every major case they've brought, but those successes failed to reduce the range or availability of P2P file sharing software. By contrasting the law's physical-world assumptions with the realities of software development, this article explains why. © 2012 IEEE.
