simple... don't share/promote their artists works.

kazaa lite has IP blocking (keep it up to date) but thats not 100% protection
the newer versions of kazaa lite don't let users browse your shares, so thats some protection from being indexed as a king pin.
do you know the odds are greater for being struck by lightning then getting sued for filesharing?

You could use socks proxy or apps like hopster also.
The easiest though may be a vpn like at findnot...

Thanks for the advice. I try to keep a low profile, not downloading TOO much, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Just so you know as Ive just recently taken a look at this app again it appears they have bundled some web optimizer which I have no clue whats its actually and intended to do and may be adware related. There may be an option in the installer to not have it if I remember correctly although if not it can be removed throung the control panel.

I'm tempted to try this one out.
Is it any good?

edit:
Hm,just checked and there doesn't seem to be an option to exclude webhancer from the app.

This is webhancer's site btw (http://www.webhancer.com/).

Does this classify as spyware?
