The RIAA has announced as of June 25, 2003 they will be on a rampage to stop illegal file sharing at whatever costs are necessary This news comes after a court decision which stops the unruly media giants from prosecuting networks such as Groster & Morpheus.

These companies plan to file lawsuits against anyone that is sharing files illegaly on the Net and that could be big, medium or small file share users This weeks tip could literally save you thousands of dollars in the end For all you pirates at sea, who don't want to go afloat, the time has come to make one of the following decisions:

1 Turn off your file sharing for a bit

2 Find a new way to share without being monitered

3 Take the chance of getting caught & paying thousands of dollars by doing nothing.

For those of you who aren't sure how to disable the file sharing option, check out this link:
