If your asking "can i get in trouble using kazaa alternatives" then the answer is most certainly yes. It doesnt matter whether your on kazaa, ares, winmx, or whatever, you can still get caught. There is a less chance on the smaller networks, yes, but there isnt a 0% chance.
I wouldnt put 100% confidence in the so-called anonymous networks either, there have to be a few bugs and glitches.

the safest thing to do is not to have all your files able to be viewed by one users. but of course if bots or people are searching a network, and your username comes up a multiple of times. Then its safe to say their is no safe point. Just use precautions.. SHARE one alphabet at a time, switch out weekly.. ALL of A's.. or just one folder or album with the tracks in it. Their going after big file sharers.
