P2P is the blanket definition, or Person to Person, which covers other methods that are more traditionally seen as 'copying'... Limewire etc.

Ok, I'm confused.
You have something on your computer, a little bit or byte or whatever it's called.........you send that something to someone elses computer right? In fact you send it to many other peoples computers.
Now, is that bit of stuff still on your computer and now also on the other persons computer? Or has it left your computer(no longer there) and gone to the other persons computer?
I'm pretty sure in anyones language if that little bit of information is on your computer still and is now also on the other persons computer, then it has been copied. Right? Or am I missing something?
The fact you are copying it to many other peoples computer at the same time rather than to only one other persons computer doesn't mean you are not copying the thing.
Simple logic dictates that if it is still on your computer and now also on another computer or many other computers then it has been copied. It's the only possible explanation.
