What if you DO fileshare, but don't disobey copyright law?
Then you won't get challenged because AFAIK the challenges are based on alleged sharing of specific items such as a game/movie/music track. Legitimate items - such as Linux distros - won't be on the watched list so you won't attract attention sharing them :)

Hi Jules,
Ive said this before,, but what if you share (4 times in 1 month) say a track or album from Magnatune (they state that its o.k. to pass on for up to 4 time a month,,,, I think).

Hi Bas,

How that would play I don't know. They'd have to prove the file was shared more than the allowed limit I suppose? Also the reasonableness (?) of such a condition in the first place.
