They are only going after the guys that share 5+ copyrighted files. But who knows.

Rule of thumb. Downloading copyrighted materials is illegal. Don't do it. Matter of fact, if you don't want to get caught by RIAA, DON'T DOWNLOAD COPYRIGHTED WORKS!!

That is all. Plain and simple. So stop stealing.

Users have the option to disable sharing.

Face it: If you're on Kazaa doing ANYTHING, you're a potential target for the men in black busting your door down, seizing your computer and sending you to Federal Pound Me In The Ass Prison. ;)

Rule of thumb. altering and deleting forum posts afterwards is illegal. Don't do it. Matter of fact, if you don't want to get caught by ATOT, DON'T ALTER AND DELETE STUFF!!

That is all. Plain and simple. So stop posting.

maybe if record producers would stop mutilating their artist's audio work when the final cd is pressed then i would buy a few. i'm not going to buy "hot" ruined radio mixes of otherwise originally decent sounding music.

How does the RIAA know that the songs you have are copyrighted? I mean, some idiot could name any file for example, billyjean.mp3 , but really it could be your voice with the real song name for the file. In order for the RIAA to know it's real, they have to download it to check it out. Wouldn't that make it illegal for them to download songs?

Also, what if you're downloading songs and you own the cd with those songs, but you're too lazy to rip it yourself. How does the RIAA know that? (i know it's rare, but it could still happen)
