Abstract: System for preventing the infringement of intellectual property rights including a searching server for identifying an infringing item in a network, a production server for producing modified copies of IP protected items and a sharing structure for sharing the modified copies over the network. The sharing structure includes a plurality of repositories and a plurality of sharing users. The repositories are mainly storage units storing many copies of the modified copies. The sharing users share the modified copies over the network either by uploading the modified copies from the repositories there through to a downloading node across the network, or by directing the downloading node to download directly from the repositories.
