From what I understand, downloading music is not yet illegal, but if you have copyrighted material on your PC and you are sharing it, then sharing it is illegal without the consent of the copyright owners. I usa Kazaa, and What I did for myself is on kazaa you can go to: Tools/Options/Traffic/and then you click the box that says, "Disable sharing files with other kazaa media desktop users" and then click apply, and you will not be sharing anymore files.

You are giving in for sure, the whole point of this is to make an example of a couple people and try to scare off the rest. I got a nice kind email from Sony a couple years ago saying something about $250,000 and jail for 6 years blah blah blah, but the truth is that poor people like myself who accidently shared music without their knowledge( :D ) don't have money.

If Sony were to pursue their case with me, they would have only gotten $3,000 MAX, because thats all I had. And I guarantee that a Sony lawyer costs waaaaayyy more than that not to mention the other costs associated with a court case.

As long as you don't openly fight them or try to say you are right, there will be no jail.

DISCLAIMER: this story has been purely fictional, and I would never share music because thats illegal;)

Bah no one likes my music anyway so I'll keep sharing on Kazaa. The new Kazaa lite blocks your IP from the RIAA anyway :D
