How does the RIAA catch people's downloads?
« on: January 05, 2008, 11:39:21 PM »
I'm wondering because "one of my friends" downloads a shit load of music, mostly from blog sites like rapidshare, zshare, and megaupload. can the RIAA catch people doing that? What about individual songs on Limewire?

I think you're probably get caught by downloading on P2P programs ... anyways delete your cookies,history , re-start your internet connection on a regular basis , don't keep too many albums on your hard drive and there is nothing to fear about ..

^ Good tips but the sad truth is that all of the activity under your IP address is logged anyway. To put it short, your ISPs give them this information.
