How can I stay Legal?

Stay legal and avoid breaking the law.

Easy steps to stay legal:

·    Make sure there are no potentially infringing files in your shared folders - meaning only files that are in the public domain, for which you have permission to share or are available under pro-sharing licenses.
·    Remove potentially misleading files names that might be confused with the name of an RIAA artist or song (e.g. "Usher" or "Madonna") from your shared folder.
·    Disable the "sharing" or "uploading" features on your search program to prevent other users on the network from getting copies of files on your computer. Music companies are focused on finding people who share thousands of files on their computers with the rest of the community. If you don't share - you reduce the risk.
