Back on topic,
I have just read that the RIAA has released its own P2P programs and that these programs install "media revenue" spy ware on your PC. This way the RIAA can track what music you have on your PC and were it got it from and where it was sent. That this software embeds itself in the music file and travels with the file. This way the RIAA can say that a specific file orginated on X machine owned by so and so with the serial number and any system info it can obtain.
I did a sweep of my system with
www.pestpatrol.com software and sure enough I had a media revenue spy ware on my pc. That spy ware has since been deleted.
If the RIAA has released its own P2P software than any one who uses this new software will be setting themselfs up for one big fall. To be safe, I would not use any of the newer P2P programs that have been released since the beginning of the year.
