First of all, from what I have read about the cases of people being sued by the RIAA and the MPAA, is that the distributors are being sued, not the users.
Think of the situation like the drug war. You arrest one junkie, there is one junkie in jail. You arrest one dealer, numerous junkies are taken care of. You sue one downloader, you have one pissed off college student who won't download songs. You sue one "file-sharer", and you eliminate all the people using his service.
The best thing to do: DO-NOT-SHARE!!!!!!!!
Who would you go after if you were the RIAA or MPAA? A guy who downloads a couple movies, or a guy who burns his movies so hundreds can download them?
