Digitized Forensic Investigation at P2P Copyright Controversy, Infringement

In recent decades, copyright violations have been moving into the criminal realm. This paper focuses on one fictitious P2P model, and discusses whether it contributes to the crime of copyright infringement for being involved in dealing with the distribution of digital content. After the perspective of digitized forensic investigation in the action research and the whole control mechanism, the facts show that a commercial server has full control over the P2P model.
