Thank you
This thing is tricky. Every single case I know of where someone was pursued legally they were sued not for downloading songs but for making them available for upload.
It goes something like this: you or one of your children use a p2p site to download a few hundred (or thousand) songs and leave them in the folder to which they were downloaded. The software, in turn, makes that folder available to anyone trying to upload with the same software. The RIAA attorneys use the software to uplaod, get the ip address of the site where it was available, and your legal troubles start.
It’s why, whenever I download stuff, I put it in a folder that is not accessable by the software and leave only public domain stuff in the primary sharing folder.
I don’t know of a single case where someone was sued for downloading. One reason is that it is legally foggy. It is akin to copying your friend’s CD, or recording off the radio, which is legal.
