摘要
The future of peer-to-peer file-sharing and related technologies is entwined, for better or worse, with copyright law. This paper aims to present a layperson's introduction to the copyright law principles most pertinent to peer-to-peer developers, including contributory and vicarious liability principles and potential legal defenses. After describing the current shape of the law, the paper concludes with twelve specific strategies that peer-to-peer developers can undertake to reduce their copyright vulnerabilities.
