Why is a safe harbor from liability for copyright owners necessary?
Certain laws, while intended to prohibit malicious computer hacking, are so broadly drafted that they may inadvertently create liability for copyright owners who are merely trying to prevent piracy of their creations on P2P networks. Because it is virtually certain that some P2P pirates will attempt to use those laws to prevent copyright owners from stopping piracy, it is necessary to clarify those laws.
