Hey, just a few questions on the riaa sueing traders issue. im really sorry if these questions have come up already.

1) is the RIAA after DC (direct connect) network, because i heard that they are only scanning the fasttrack network.

2)Are the scanning for people who sharing over like 20gigs or something? is there a like a limit or something.

3) If the RIAA catch you, do they give u a warning, like they send u a letter saying stop sharing or clear out your hard disk, and if u do it again, then they sue u.

Thanx, so these questions have come up already!

i saw mediaforce bots scanning when i ran a hub 6 months ago, and i'm sure they still do

they sent a supoena to a person sharing 8! files, so there is no magic number

i wouldn't touch a public hub with a 10 foot pole

I agree with Notbob. They have been at it for a while. On DC for music in particular, I would definately recommend going with private hubs.

I guess I better step away then also. (which i probably wont) I share around 800mp3,s and about 10 full albums are in there. I always connect to public, but maybe i will search now for a private one.
