This paper examines intellectual property law, and aims to assess whether it is in for or against the needs of the public. The paper begins by defining P2P file sharing, and aims to examine the rights of the owners and the rights of the individual. Copyright law in the UK is discussed, and the paper evaluates the platforms that allow files to be shared, namely Grokster, Napster and Newzbin. The ways in which the individual users of the services can be targeted are outlined, as are the ways in which service providers can be targeted. The non legal solutions to file sharing are provided along with global solutions.
