The music industry has an army of lawyers too, and it did not make a damn bit of difference once bittorrent was popularized.
IP law means nothing once tens of millions of people are openly violating it.
The software industry is about to learn this lesson too.

You cannot keep a purely legally-enforced moat in the face of advancing technology.
