Hitting P2P Users Where

Hitting P2P Users Where It Hurts

If spoofing can effectively shut down P2P file trading, maybe copy protection won't be necessary. Then, you could rip a song from a CD and share it with a relative or friend, or easily move it from one device to another, or back it up. Sounds like a good compromise to me: give up large scale trading among strangers, but allow small scale trading among acquaintances.
