Have people had their asses sued off for no more than downloading
(stealing)music? Huh, dummy?

You're the freaking dummy.

Those people used bit torrent to obtain the music. And if you had more
than 2 brain cells, you'd know that when you use bit torrent, you become
both an UPLOADER as well as a DOWNLOADER.

And when you bother to READ the letters sent out to those dumb shmucks
by the RIAA, you'll see that they're being nailed for MAKING THOSE MUSIC
FILES AVAILABLE for other people to download by virtue of BEING A
SERVER.

Now stop making a total fool of yourself and do some research on these
subjects of which you know nothing about before you post your foot in
your mouth.
