Abstract
The article emphasizes that the obstacle of P2P filesharing is not a unique feature of our times – it is part of the centuries old legal narrative between symbiosis of technology and copyright law. The first chapter summarizes the factors that were necessary to the emergence of copyright protection including the technology (originally the printing press), authors, consumers and legislature. The second chapter will present that the evolution of copyright law is mainly led by users’ demands and the massively accessible supply of new technologies. This is evidened by the example of how musical works became protected subject matters and how society's demands affected the development of this protection.
