ignorance of the law is not a reason. if you think that "Why not just go after Bearshare or the company that has it for download because, as far as I'm concerned, it was there to download for whomever wanted to, and I did." well, then that's for a JUDGE to decide who is right or wrong.
also with all the high profile cases that have been about RIAA suing everyone, I have a hard time believing that you are claiming ignorance of the law.
and then you stating in your OP that you don't want to go to court because you know you'll lose implies to me that you know you did something illegal and wrong.
if you don't.. well then you spent waaaay too much time in the titty board since you're still a rookie after being here since Oct 2003
edit: cannot afford a lawyer... READ the FIRST line I posted where it says one will be appointed to you for FREE.
