well I dont know how they do it, but if they can find out that you are sharing it then they will know that you are DOWNLOADING it

so hence my question.....are they only going after the people who share or are they going after the downloaders as well?

The article would lead one to believe the latter, but don't believe everything you read.

Leroy,

According to the article...

>> The industry is particularly keen on stopping people who keep their computers open on the Internet for others to share. On Lafky's computer, for instance, record companies like Universal Music Group, Sony and Warner Bros. found songs by groups they publish like Bloodhound Gang, Savage Garden and Linkin Park. Also found were songs by artists Michelle Branch, MC Hammer and country stars Shania Twain and Neal McCoy, which not only were downloaded but also available to others to upload, according to the lawsuit.

I read this as she downloaded the music and had it available to others.
