Update on this:
The RIAA has issued several hundred subpoenas, trying to find the identities of hundreds of kazaa users. They're having trouble getting colleges to comply (colleges arguing on a technicality), but the way the legislature is written the RIAA can force the colleges/ISP to comply or sue the pants of them.
Right now, they're focusing on some of the major "uploaders" (I *think* downloaders are exempt from the law due to a burden of proof issue, but don't quote me - I'm no lawyer) and some random minor uploaders to scare people into not sharing songs. US residents only.
