just don't share anything yourself, and you're safe. you can download whatever you want from other people.

It doesn't matter what your name on kazaa is. They can look you up via IP and trace it back to your ISP. Which can then be tracked back to the REAL name of who owns the internet account.

Stay away from Kazaa unless you like handing over all your money to RIAA or a guy named Bubba is your dream.

i don't get it. Are they going after just file sharers or those that just download too?? Is it still safe to use other things like mIRC?
