well either way there is still the chance you could get caught by the riaa using kazaa. and thats pretty shitty. i have absolutely no money right now to be paying the riaa 10,000 dollars for some bs mp3s, so ill stick to other means of obtaining mp3s, heh.

about the mpaa going after people:
they have been going after people sharing movies on kazaa for a while now. they did not make this big of a deal about it though. ive seen emails that have been sent to people sharing pirated movies, but they are more along the lines of cease and desist letters telling people to delete or stop sharing the file in question. they havent threatened lawsuits yet. but who fucking knows. its so funny though, because when you think about it, what are the riaa/mpaa supposed to do? i mean they arent stupid, they know no matter what they do, we will always share/steal/borrow/lend/tryout/preview their material. they actually do KNOW this. they just cant conceed to this fact. i dont blame em really. they do lose some amount of money because of p2p. the actual amount is arguable, but you have to admit they are losing at least some amount of money, so what company is going to be like ' fine, ok, take our money without a fight'. if that makes any sense which i hope it does

and in response to the previous reply:
yes they can detect you regardless of what kazaa version you are using. you are using peer to peer, which means one peer makes a direct connection to another. like all these other kind folk have said, do a 'netstat -a' at the commant prompt to see what connections are exactly connected to you. easy advice. stop sharing files on kazaa if you are concerned.
