RIAA cracking down on file swappers

Well I don't download music from P2P servers anymore. I'm not going to be affected by this hunt now the RIAA is sending out. I download music from a special server that a group of people (and I) share. The RIAA is going to overlook this most likely.

It's not. We just upload onto a server and download it. It's different from P2P.

It's sort of Peer-To-Peer, it's just... A very small group of peers.

It's more like an FTP server. Someone sets space on their HD and the server runs that. Then they upload all the stuff onto that server, and the other guys can download it.

Most of them are more for pirated software. Most are also private, others require you to upload while you download, or upload some incredibly rare not-yet-released program (ie. Photoshop 8) to get an account, and a couple are actually free.

Actually, it's exactly a FTP server. Forget what it was called and ****. thnx

But this is privately owned with me and some members of AGB. It's not my server though, but I make my donations

Does this concern the people who download the music, or just the people who offer to share it with those who download the music from them?
