I think everyone dances to the beat of a different drummer. I share over 10+ gigs and frankly I don't want to know who is freeloading and who isn't. I'd like to think that Xolox has a good community of people and being paranoid about who is leaching and who isn't requires too much energy from me.

I lived in an international house in Japan for two years and we had one computer shared by all. Our landlord had hired an egotistical computer tech who kept track of what was on the computer if he didn't put it on there he'd delete it immediately and the landlord would fine us for abusing the computer. These were back in the days of Napster and the very beginnings of Bearshare and as much as I would have liked to share the files I downloaded, I didn't have a choice. Though I know not everyone is in that position I was, I can't be bothered to get worked up about it.

I'm sure there are some people who are simply scared that the RIAA or some law enforcement agency is going to go after them just for sharing something, I don't know, I will simply continue to share and support the p2p community because its such a great way to share and I'm happy to see people downloading from me and hopefully appreciating whatever file they download.
