I doubt this is correct, but if you have the cd that the mp3 is to, then you might be sued, but you can probably get out of it. But the RIAA will probably dig deeper and see if they can find that you've dl'ed before and such. Did they totally get rid of the rule that you can have an mp3 for 24 hours but after that you have to delete it, or was that made up?
Right now though, they are going after the people that are sharing. They say though that they will eventually go after the people dl'ing I believe. It's just easier to go after someone that is sharing the files when that's not legal. With the dl'ers you probably need to sift thru things to find out if they own the album or not.
