I just make sure I don't have any files in "my shared folder." And besides, all I download is classic rock like the Stones, Zepplin, Creedence, etc. I don't think the RIAA is too worried about that. My feelings are, if the bands only put 1 decent song on their album, why should we have to pay $15-$20 for the one song. We listen to it on the radio for free, why can't we have a copy for ourselves to listen to it for free, we're not selling it, so how is that illegial? If we buy a cd, we have the rights to do what we want with it. We can burn our friends a copy if we want and that's not illegial, so why can't we do the same through file sharing? I have 100's of cds, so I'm not freeloading off of it. I would never have bought The Exies's cd if it wasn't for filesharing. It turns out that their sorriest song was their hit and all the good stuff was on their cd. I bought the cd, I didn't just "freeload" it.
