The RIAA and similar organizations find you a truly excessive amount that far exceeds the actual value of the songs. They have not been doing this as much since it has created a backlash against them.

I do it from time to time. As long as you don't share a lot of music, nothing should happen. Death to the RIAA!

i dont really know but in holland downloading music peer-to-peer (NOT uploading) is legal

downloading isnt really prosecuted. Its the uploading of the files that most watchdog media companies look for.

Lately they threaten to fine you for an extreme amount of money in an attempt to scare you into not doing it anymore. Its like a cops and drugs. Cops dont care about the users and runners as much as the dealers and distributors. They tend to focus thier attention on bothering the distribution sites.
