Just because you own a number of MP3's doesnt mean you have broken the law.

1) THey might for instance be said recordings of me bsuing on my guitar and for your own reasons you've filed it as "Beyonce - Baby Boy" because you think thats what it sounds like!

2) They might be legal sample files freely given out legally.

3) They might be corrupt in which case has breach actually occurred? Intent might have but you can hardly have broken the law downloading a file that wont even open.

4) See the BPI website download about filesharing. They are concerned with SERIOUS offenders, they say they are after UPLOADERS not downloaders.

I shouldnt worry if I were you.
