THe RIAA mostly focuses on people who are not only downloading but also "seeding" pirated files.Such as the college students with 3 terabytes of mp3's on their computer who are set up as a torrent seeder.and also the individuals who download 10 or 20 movies every week or download entire bibliographies of musical artists.downloading a cd once in a while or a movie now and then is pretty much safe.It's when you go nuts and try to get every damn mp3 or movie out there that they jump down your throat.
