The last I knew, about 1000 people had been indicted for downloading copyrighted files. That's only 1000 out of the millions of people that download "illegally". That leaves the chances of you or me getting caught very slim. I think that it has nothing to do with protecting artists works. It is all about the greed of the recording industry (RIAA).
