1. Comment - P2P Future Darkens as eDonkey Closes

   As far as I know, music file formats have a structure and can be recognized by a computer program. More than that, there are file formats that can contain licensing information along with the digitized music data. So, why don't the makers of file sharing software just add a piece of code preventing anyone from sharing copyrighted media?
   
   I do understand smart geeks will find a workaround, but most likely it will incur either altering the software itself, or altering the music files - both actions being unlawful. Thus, it will be the sharer's responsibility if copyrighted content becomes publicly available.
