What they are doing is searching for copyrighted material in the search, and writing down all the usernames that pop up in the list, then they are clicking on each users and seeing what else they have that they are sharing.
Which raises a few questions. i dont think they're actually downloading a file from each person. So if they take someone to court, what if that person says he never let anyone take songs from him? what if he says he cancels each download ppl try and do from him? They have to prove he's actually giving stuff out. not that he just has files in his share folder.
The other question is im sure many of you have at least once ran into a file that said it was a certain thing. but really they just lied and its something totally worthless. what if they nab a person and take him to court and all he has is fake files. nothing real?
Then the ultimate question. or kinda wish thing..... If the RIAA is using kazaa or grokster or one of these types of programs.... Wouldnt it be just funny if they got some viruses from it? lol
