RIAA Question

I have 1500+ Mp3's, I was wondering if they are not shared via P2P, Could I get in trouble for having the Mp3's them selves?

You could, if you don't own the CDs with the songs on, but it is highly unlikely as the RIAA are first and foremost going after the people that are distributing the mp3s.

You just need to realize that yes, having those without owning the CDs is illegal.

Legally, you're not supposed to have them.

But... until the RIAA Brute Squad starts going door to door looking for MP3's... I wouldn't worry about it.

do you own the cds? if you havent bought the cds then technically yes your breaking their law.

Of course you could claim you lost the cds a long time ago

maybe as agent embroy said, but they wont find you, they search people who share them, that's their primary target!

and 1500+ is not much to be honest, others have more then 20 Gigs MP3 because they are downloading all the time!

they get in trouble

I have more than that...and I haven't downloaded more than a few here and there (to see how it is before I buy) in 3 years.
