First of all, here's the list of the peopel who have been sued so far http://www.eff.org/IP/P2P/riaasubpoe...ll_doe_ips.txt
Second, when the RIAA sues a person, they demand about 5,000 dollars right at that moment and if you refuse, then they take you to court on charges of copyright infringement (a felony) and if found guilty, you pay a fine of at least 250,000 dollars. Now the average person can't aford that so they go to jail. BTW, I assume you people don't use legal mp3 sites when you could get them for free since people will be people.
Dude , please stop. You're killing me.I am sure everyone is aware of the potential consequerences of illegally downloading music. But you should not come in here on your rightous horse accusing people. Do what you need and want to do, and let others do what they need and want to do.
If you feel so strongly about music piracy then go work for the legal team of the RIAA subsidiaries, but please refrain from calling out people for it. This is neither the right forum nor site, for that matter.
By the way, i have 500 cd's , this not including my wife's collection which we pooled together when we got married. Do you actually think i use those cd's? I have stored them as 256kb mp3 files, so i can play them in the car, mix them at will, copy them to my mp3 player, and yes, create a cd in order to put a selection of songs that i want the way i want into the xbox. Not everyone who copies songs on cd's steals them off the net.
