Hi Richard.

I think it is a little like people who speed on the expressway.  Everyone 
does it and they can't arrest everyone, so they arrest the most blatant 
ones, or at least the poor slob who just happens to be in the wrong place 
at the wrong time.  Just because people haven't gotten nailed yet for music 
sharing on Limewire doesn't mean they won't be nailed someday.  Probably 
some never will get caught, but do you really want to play with that?  If 
you get caught, the RIAA will make sure that you don't have a cent left to 
your name.

The thing that most of the ignorant slobs don't realize out there is that 
their chances are a lot better on the expressway, because you don't have 
someone keeping a log of what each motorist is doing at each 
interchange.  On the Internet, every time you pass through someone's 
server, there is a log of your activity that is being kept.  The only 
hurdle for the RIAA is in knowing which logs to ask for.
