Ok, I was on Kazaa Lite K++ just a couple minutes ago(1:43am) and I received this random message saying how downloading is illegal and stuff like that. Is this from the RIAA? Has anyone else received this message before? This is really freaking me out...i thought K++ was supposed to be RIAA proof! And I also thought that they are targeting people w/ mass amounts of mp3s being distributed,I only had 9 available! Does any1 have any info on RIAA suits? AHHHH!!!!!!crap i hate having to feel paranoid! please answer my questions before I go into convulsions!

its probably from the user whom you are downloading the stuff from...
maybe he/she just wanna freak you out...

i think RIIA wont send messages like that, especially using Kazaa as the medium...

You guys should read the news. The last round of lawsuits the RIAA sent out were directed at people who had downloaded FIVE SONGS. They're not just targeting mass downloaders anymore (and, brother, I used to do a gig or two a night, so don't think I'm squeaky clean.) Be forewarned!

Just to show my support of the RIAA, I ordered this!

It should look nice next to my 20gigs of music

Electic, I'd agree with dj_mocok in that it seems like someone was messing with you
