As of last Thursday, June 26, the RIAA has allegedly begun gathering evidence against individuals offering music over P2P file sharing programs like KaZaa, etc. If you live in the U.S., are running one of these applications and are sharing MP3's (particularly a large collection), you could find yourself facing fines of up to $150,000 per song that you are offering.

I've uninstalled my file sharing app just as a precaution. The first lawsuits are scheduled to be filed in August.
