I wasn't stupid about my downloading. I was able to slip under the RIAA radar for years during the Napster boom and never got a warning. I download everything legally now, or purchase albums (I am a vinyl freak) and rip them to my own personal computer (which, apparently is illegal too because you share them with yourself). The article I posted maintains a "watch" is placed on an account. They dropped opening cases in 2008. So if you got a watch or warning letter before summer 2008 you should be careful.
Edit: Sorry for editing some of my posts and sort of making a mess of this thread, I want to make sure that you don't target me as an illegal downloader, nor do I want to disillusion people (Yes, I admit the first sentence in my original post was wrong) but just tell people what the RIAA has announced.
