I'd say there is a safe bet that although, according to the obtuse rulings
of the supreme court, most of these p2p networks can now be sued into
non-existence. However, considering the nature of p2p, both the software
and the network are already setup and distributed, so there efforts are
mostly [IMO] in vain.
I would just say be weary of what folders you consider sharing on any
network, especially if you are worried about the RIAA witch hunt. IMO
limewire/slsk have become the best outlets for creative discovery as of
late anyway.
OH, and go to your local independent music store and check the used racks
as well......if the horrible .mp3 sound doesn't fit your goat.

so, if i'm trying to download some Prurient or Discordance Axis i'm
fine....
it'll be when i jokingly go to download "invisible touch" that the
cuffs'll come on...
does anybody on the list (if such a person exists on earth) have an idea
about what the situation really is? i imagine they're going after
bootleggers directly.
it's hard not be paranoid about such things these days...
