Now before you get your pirate hats on and head for your favorite bittorrent tracker, please take note; this announcement doesn’t necessarily make it any safer, or legal, than it previously was to pirate. OK, now that we’re done with that onto the news.

It was recently brought to the media that the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) will cease prosecuting individual file sharers for downloading music. Instead, they have decided to take a different initiative, focusing on big uploaders and repeat offenders.

So now, if you download music and/or share it excessively, the RIAA will contact your ISP who will then take appropriate action, which may include shutting off your internet. That is, if you get caught.
