What the RIAA SEEMS to be more concerned about is re-sharing your downloads (which happens with most P2P SOFTWARE during and after you rdownload).

Until I installed PeerGuardian I got a couple of complaints from BayTSP. The tricky problem is how to RESPOND to a complaint from BayTSP without incriminating oneself, so I created an anonymous email account and sent them a two word message "problem solved".

I get the impression that the RIAA will go after anyone who confesses to intimidating threats from the likes of BayTSP, or if they find more than a few files being shared. And from reading about them on Slashdot it appears they are like Rotweillers in pursuing a "victim" until they get a conviction. (I say "victim" because some of the time they get the wrong person).

What are you? An... anti-sharer?
Huh?

(Quick! Everyone! Upload your songs to Limewire or...something)
Well, I'm on dial-up and can't handle DOWNLOADING and uploading at the same time, so no, I don't share my files. I do have a small share folder and if I like someone, I'll give them access to it, but that's about it. The files are already available and downloading from me would take forever anyway, so I don't see the harm.
