If the files are no longer refered to by their names, but rather by their hashes... Would there still be legal concern from the RIAA?

If the RIAA only sees that they are downloading part of a file that they can only see by it's hash, then would the liability on the person who is sending the file be reduced at all?

This would confuse the hell out of em', especially if network clients started aiding in the distribution of files accross the network.

As for implimentation, a client returning a query response to a text based message wouldn't identify their location to the requesting party.. Just that the file exists and what the hash is. Only after requesting a part of the file would the requesting client know who COULD have sent the origional query response.
