MyHomeServer.com reports that if you have copywritten digital music files on a shared folder then the RIAA may soon visit you. The article states:

“So, warning to those folks that plan on sharing files and folders via their home server…Beware, the RIAA could be making a visit to your home server soon to look for copywritten material! Always password protect any shares that contain copywritten material!”

Another article posted at PC World by author Travis Hudson also had this to say:

“The RIAA believes that the act of making copyrighted material available via a “shared folder” is enough to constitute the “right of distribution.” In other words, putting copyrighted material in a shared folder is just as bad as actually sharing it with another individual.”

You have been WARNED!
