My co-worker received a letter last year from the RIAA. The RIAA sued him for over $10,000! He called, set an appointment to appeal it, but they never responded. So...nothing heard from them at this time.

Just hearing about that scared me away from downloading music illegally. Now if you guys know how to download music using torrents, you can download full-quality CD albums. Much better than limewire or Kazaa (which usually has spyware)

Just read up on how to download torrents.
