using Kazaa K++ (to my knowledge) wont keep anyone off ya back if they really want to do anything at all..once someone (randomly) finds your sharing an item they can then start proceedings as long as the law in that country allow it..but the real question is WILL they....eventually i guess they will have to start somewhere..but when will that eventually be...be afraid be very afraid kinda...

Your chances of getting sued are about 1 to 10.000.000
Chances to die of cancer are much much higher.

People should stop worrying.

Thats total bolox, Its Illegal to download any copyrighted file be it a song /game whatever if you dont own the original, burning to disk is no more or less illegal than having it on your harddrive.

Its also technically illegal to sound your car horn after 8pm but I don't think yer gonna go to jail for that either :D

In fact, its quite the opposite. Kazaa is being targeted by the RIAA/MPAA because of its popularity. The safest bet is to accept the possible risk, and keep sharing. ;)
