I'm still sharing, but must admit to feeling a bit nervous. Don't know whether the RIAA's reach stretches over the atlantic to the UK, but I'm still feeling paranoid.
Kazzaa files have always been pretty patchy - some are ok, but others are very low grade. But today, for the first time I've had the hassle of downloading deliberately messed up files. Tried to download 'Lumidee - never leave you' and kept getting corrupted downloads. After six attempts, I restricted the number of users I was downloading from to two, and finally got a clean copy, but what a load of hassle, just to get one song.
I think in the long term the RIAA won't win, and they know it, but until they give up, things could get uncomfortable for a while.
