Agree, this is total crap.

I live in Mexico and I THOUGHT that law regarding music download was not so strong here... until some weeks ago, that I heard the music industry, teaming up with our country's FBI, had developer a new software that tracked the people's IP on the most popular music sharing "sites" (my guess is Rapidshare and such) and then they ASKED for the person's info on their ISP. Yeah, no privacy at all!

They first tried to sue the people by criminality, but they found out they couldn't. They instead, sued them in a civil judge for over $10,000 dollars (that's A LOT here) because the guys shared the music with their friends (even if they owned the CD). They sued middle-low income families, but settled out of court with fines of up to $1,000 (that's still A LOT here).
