Is this saying that actually having the song downloadable in a p2p program is legal? Or just making a folder called "Shared"? LOL
And ironically, this is the exact reverse of Canada's copyright law... There it's legal to download whatever you want, but you can't upload copyrighted stuff (someone correct me if I'm wrong, I heard this from someone who lived there) (and I actually prefer that system better )CYA Later:

RIAA Sucker Punched: “Making Available†Theory Shot Down
Arizona District Court Judge Neil V. Wake dealt a heady blow to the RIAA last Monday, striking down its popular “making available†theory as insufficient grounds for accusations of copyright infringement.
Wake’s ruling (PDF) set a higher burden of proof for the RIAA’s campaign of litigation: RIAA investigators – not third party agents, like those at MediaSentry – must download files from a defendant’s hard drive in order to accuse them of unlawful distributing copyrighted materials.Comment

Yeah, I should make some fake mp3s that are really viruses, and see what happens.
So in other words, they can't sue you for just DOWNLOADING, you have to be sharing songs at the same time? Or am I missing something?CYA Later:
