at the end of the day the mpaa, the riaa or any other interested party can use whatever p2p program you're using to verify your shares and take action against you. ultimately it's that simple. although your chances of getting caught are slight, about 1 in 30,000 here in the us, there is unfortunately no complete insurance against it atm. obviously some apps are “less dangerous” than others (substitute “less popular” for less dangerous if you get my drift), but none are totally immune from rare but possible persecution. the safest by far are the private, invitation only systems, while the least safe are the wide open ones, like gnutella, fasttrack etc. sure they’re the fun ones, like riding a motorcycle w/out a helmet (something i’m guilty of fairly regularly), but like a lot of fun stuff, there can be a downside with the increase of risk.
