But how this stands in court makes me wonder because in order to prove that someone is in fact sharing "illegal" files you have to download the full content from the seed in the first place. So does that mean the RIAA needs to sue themselves?

Seems pretty logical. And, like you said, funny - in the "Nelson-laugh" kind of way; schadenfreude. If I hated someone, that’s probably how I’d want to make money. Seems pretty logical.

Hard to tell exactly without knowing how many cases there are and how many people use P2P networks. You could work out the odd from that.

Thats like if speed by a cop and he doesn't pull me over... so I speed by a second time flipping him off. As for the getting caught thing... torrents are like drugs... if used moderately you won't get busted ;) (btw ... despite the skew of that sentence... I am not a drug user...)
