I've downloaded hundreds of mp3's and movies in the past but always usually buy my favourites in official form too cos im a sucker for the official packaging and all that goes with it.

What with all the crap thats on limewire and things like it with virus' and all that, i'm pretty much destined to stop downloading mp3's i think from now on.

One thing i'm wondering tho is if Sony etc have any way of knowing how many sony files i've downloaded in the past etc? I've heard of people being threatened by the music companies for downloading mp3's and stuff and was curious about that. Are Sony and co / Limewire able to see a list of all the copyrighted mp3 files and movies i've downloaded since i downloaded limewire?

As someone with such a huge (and unwarranted!) collection of official dvd's and audio cd's, i'd be annoyed if i got pulled up for past mp3 downloads!

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
