Careful! If you try to continue using the CD-ROM drive after disposing of the camera, it's wired to enough nitroglycerin to blow us all to shreds!
 
Actually yes, they spy on your whole computer. Whenever you log onto Kazaa they can search to see if you have any mp3's. If you have very many on your hard drive i would get rid of them as soon as possible. It is possible they already have your name, just have to wait and see.

If they spy on your whole computer then that makes them the criminals. Tracing IPs of downloads is one thing but rummaging around your HDs is another. Luckily their arrogance is going to bring them nothing but more trouble.

I would be nervous with anything over 1 - 1.5 Gb. How much do you have?

You might be Ok, but I would still be kinda nervous. I heard that on some campus they were busting a guy for having only 7 files! :Q
Best I can say is wait a while and see what happens. Back up your mp3's to CD-R's if you want, but get them off of your hard drive. It is just too much of a risk right now.

You can uninstall kazaa, but you can't uninstall stupid from your head.

(props to whoever came up with that first, M4H maybe)

I would, seeing how that's how they find you in the first place. If you have anything like Direct Connect you may want to get rid of it, too. If all you have on your computer is a few songs, chances are you will be ok. Do you really want to risk a several thousand dollar lawsuit though, they have been handing out hundreds of subpoenas in the past few days.

edit: Ever since this started a few days ago I have backed up all of my mp3's to cd's and just played them off of that. This is the only "safe" way to go, so if you want to be careful I suggest you do the same.
