The explosive growth of the Napster and KaZaA services shows that
peer-to-peer file sharing has tremendous appeal in our information
society. Nevertheless, current legal and economic practices prevent
that these services achieve their full potential. Fighting the War
on File Sharing looks into the issue from the perspectives of IT,
economics and law and combines the results, pointing out ways how
to reduce its escalation and to end the war. The approach and the
solutions reached recognize the influence of outstanding work
produced in different disciplines, such as law and information
technology (Lessig), political anthropology (Douglas, Geertz,
Smits), new institutional economics (Coase, North, Greif) and
jurisprudence (Fuller, Bobbitt, Tamanaha). This book is very
important to anyone concerned about how intellectual property law,
economics and rhetoric fuel the war on file sharing, and, in
general, to everyone interested in the future of the Media Industry
on Internet. Aernout Schmidt and Wim Keuvelaar are both affiliated
to elaw@Leiden, Centre for Law in the Information Society at Leiden
University. Wilfred Dolfsma is affiliated to the Utrecht School of
Economics and to Maastricht University (UNU-MERIT). This is Volume
14 in the Information Technology and Law (IT&Law) Series
