Pretty much all I download is stuff from Japan - music singles, TV shows, but mostly music videos. I figure I'm pretty safe, as the RIAA couldn't give a crap about all of that stuff.
That said, if they DO decide to start cracking down on people who download stuff like that, I'm screwed. *heh*
Mainstream stuff is just taking too big of a chance. I think I've downloaded one Hollywood moive, and that was Kill Bill, because I didn't want to wait for the DVD to hit to see it again. Music, it just sucks trying to find a decent rip of a song out there, so if there's something I really need, it's off to the iTunes Music Store. Or, you know, if it is something I care more about, then maybe Allofmp3. I don't like to buy the music from them, but then again, I also don't like paying for a 128kbps file, AAC or not.
I guess I do occasionally grab TV shows when I miss seeing them, but really, I see that as a totally separate deal. Plus, I don't think they've gotten the balls yet to go after anybody downloading TV shows right after broadcast, have they?
