Obviously, they would only use this application to ensure their privacy, NOT to cover their trails if they were sharing music with other people... I'll not post the URL in case this comment gets flagged as spam, but if you do a quick google search on PeerGuardian, it is dead simple to install, is free, and BTW, I don't have any sort of relationship with them, other than a satisfied user...

The RIAA needs to be a bit more choosy with who they make their anti-piracy statements with. In the past they've sued grandmothers and disabled kids and got more bad publicity than they expected. Going after college kids is better for them, PR wise, since they are a large share of the piracy market, and while many people understand their plight, they aren't quite as sympathetic.

But, I think that it is all about making an example of these kids, to show how merciless they are in pursuit of what they see as justice.
