P2P aside, a lot of things - too numerous tomention - can be used for illegal purposes, and some of these things are more popular than others because of the design.

The p2p ruling opens a huge can of wriggling worms which is why all the lower courts rightfully rejected the claim.

I think this sentence sums it all up ...
If strictly interpreted the ruling means that these hi-tech firms will have to try to predict the ways people can use these devices to pirate copyrighted media and install controls to stop this infringement.
