Well boys and girls, should we be worried? I think they may go after some of the top uploaders or people who leaked high profile albums, but the majority of us should be safe. I know that at least 50% of what I downloaded was non-RIAA albums.

y'know what's really funny? the pigs think this will actually stop anyone from d/l music.
But I do hope that IT guy can't get outta this one somehow.

you have nothing to fear, unless you were uploading in the terrabytes. and even then probably not.

Yeah, I can't see them going after 180,000 people. The owner and anyone who donated are their most likely targets.

well, actually I had it a couple of weeks already, but I'm finally getting through the letter C with re-organizing so I added it to my 'shared files' around the day OINK was hit. The new Ryan Adams EP is very popular on Soulseek now (letter A, so, shared ;)).

groetjes,
Mirella :)

I hope you guys are right, and I don't want to freak you out, but I used to downloaded from a movie site a few years back and I got sued for $3000 after it got shut down. There were well over 100,000 people downloading on that site, probably over 200,000, and I was nowhere near the top in uploading. In reality I was probably very close to the bottom, but they still got me. That was the MPAA and this is the RIAA, so it may be a lot different. Good luck guys!!

Also, I never donated a dime to them.
