There has been a crack down in the UK I think.

Read this... it's quite interesting. A set back for the RIAA.

Looks like I made a mistake about what I said before.

"I live in the UK, but US computer users will be able to access the songs I share on file-swapping networks. Will the RIAA sue me?

No. The RIAA's UK equivalent, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), says this is a US action that is affecting only music downloaders in the US because international laws are different. The RIAA cannot take action against people outside the US.

Is the BPI planning to sue UK users?

It has said it will not rule out suing individual users, but that it would be a "last resort". The BPI says it is currently trying to educate people - including sending out leaflets to colleges and large business - to tell people where they can download music legally.

It also says using peer-to-peer services risks downloading viruses. But if the RIAA's actions are successful, a similar system could be on the cards for the UK."



p.s, search Google for Peer Guardian.

Nasty.

Even if your name or IP address isn't on their database, I am very certain that it will be once you press that "check" button! I wouldn't do this.
