DOWNLOADING IS 100% SAFE

Everyone! Stop talking about DOWNLOADING!! RIAA lawsuits are not about DOWNLOADING! Let's clear things up. Only those who were SHARING have been sued. Regardless if the shared collection was 'downloaded', ripped from their own CDs, or borrowed. Doesn't matter HOW you get the media. ONLY the fact that you SHARE it can get you sued. SHARING is the issue. Downloading without sharing (ie. leeching) is 100% safe, and I offer anyone to challenge that. So don't let the RIAA, media, or webpostings brainwash you. Of course we all know that if no one shares, blah blah blah. Yes, leeching, as well as copyright infrigment are both bad, however those are totally different topics. But as it stands, DOWNLOADING, borrowing CDs, Copying, etc. are all irrelevant points. So who cares if "you're gonna keep on downloading" or "not going to take the risk of d/ling anymore". WHAT risk??? It's the SHARING that got people busted. Keep D/L out of this and focus on the real issue! Any Comments?
