Yeah this whole thing is insane, the reason they cant go after you now with the lawsuits is that they were using a law that Clinton put into effect that allows a non judge to issue warrents for information.
The Riaa was using court clerks to issue warrents for filesharers information.
Aol turned over a huge amount of people without even consulting a lawyer, as well as some other providers.
Some of them fought the riaa warrents on the grounds that they were illegal.
When they did that the suprime court said, "all warrents require judicial review" which means 1) an actual judge has to be consulted, and 2) a judge has more important things to do than look for illegal filesharers.
So yes they could come after you, but no judge worth their salt is even going to waste time on releasing a warrent in my opinion.
But if you want to move up to the real world of early release info with no trail use IRC fileshares. Everything is there, absolutely everything.
The only problem with IRC in my opinion is that if you dont know what your doing its like handing a gun to a 5 year old.
