Actually, I\'ve read in another (Danish) forum about a guy who got a mail from his ISP. They\'d been contacted by Universal and passed the info on (it was just that they asked him to stop doing illegal activities and such, but still... kinda scary).

I must admit that I\'ve stopped using Kazaa now. Every anti piracy organisation is going nuts these days and I don\'t intend getting caught... Not that I shared anything before, but I won\'t risk downloading either.

Someone should make a 100% anonymous encrypted P2P network. :)

I read somewhere that there had actually been a 20% drop in March (not sure about the month, think it was March).

They cant sue 3 million people. Even if they contact you, dont respond to them and they\'ll just move on. What will they do, call the cops on you?

is it legal for the riaa to obtain info on the users from the isp\'s, they probably had a warrant for the ones who got called to court but what about the others they cant possibly have warrants for all the other thousands which they are allegedly monitoring.
either way this will probably bring up many privacy issues related to what isp\'s should and should\'nt give out.

I beg to differ with you on this point. They can put 50 people in one single court filing. Say 30% of those people do not respond. Then they receive a default judgement for the entire amount they sued for.

For those that do respond. They will either have to pay a lawyer 10,000 Dollars to a lawyer or maybe half of that to settle. Or atleast that is what other organizations do right now.

So far as those that think it is safe to download the songs without anything bad happening to them. I would say wait. I have not a doubt they will start going after you individually for downloads.

Sueing has become a way for companies to turn a profit in a tough U.S. economy.

I myself speak back to recording industry the only way I can. I stopped purcashing their cd\'s.
