Wow, all of those lawsuits will be a HUGE waste of time and money because you know they will not win. The RIAA is just going way too far with the whole anti-file-sharing shit. People don't necessarily download music from the internet because they don't feel like paying for a CD. They do it because they want to hear a song or two before they run out and buy the whole CD. Well, that's what I do anyways since that's pretty much the only way to sample music from metal bands such as Iced Earth and Soilwork.

They're not going to win? Do tell what makes you think that? They're going after the people DISTRIBUTING the music. Open and shut case for the RIAA. People complain when the RIAA goes after the services, so they finally do what they should be doing, and people still complain.
Besides, use Soulseek, no annoying RIAA bots there.

Bender: If you upload at your full speed, you'll be unable to download. Cap it 1-2K below your upload cap.
