Message: <blockquote data-quote="Joey" data-source="post: 85508">P2P means that they operate "Peer-to-peer". That means that there is no centralized server or that containing all the information about who is sharing what.Because of the decentralization, it is just plain impossible to shut them down. You can't just get a court order to turn off a computer and it's lights out. The only way that the RIAA would be able to shut down a P2P network is to shut down pretty much every computer in the network.And when you are talking about millions of users on some of the networks, it just won't happen. Even if they do shut down a large amount of P2P users, there will still be new users coming on to the network.</blockquote>
