This was in todays paper. 39 students at the University have been subpoenaed by the RIAA for sharing music through a P2P network.
I have a couple of questions though? Is it only illegal to upload (share) music, or is simply downloading it illegal as well?
Also, how do the RIAA catch these people?
Suppose for instance I download a song off a P2P network, and then move it from the shared folder (the folder that it automatically downloads into which the P2P uses to upload those files from my computer) to some other location on my harddrive, and then delete the download registry files, is it still possible for the RIAA to bust me?
This thing at Princeton has really hit close to home now, and I'm worried about it.
