| Abstract: | This paper examines the controversy over peer-to-peer (p2p) software and discusses the legal and ethical dimensions of allowing software companies to develop p2p technologies. It argues that technology developers must have the freedom to innovate technologies that are capable of substantial noninfringing uses, which offers a safe harbor for technological development. However, this does not immunize conduct beyond the design, sale, or supply of the product. |
