Does anyone know if the music companies are still suing people who download or share music for free?

Answer 1

yes they are...
but now they're loosing the fight c0z the victums are fighting back the RIAA ;-)

Anyways, all ppl have to do is have good security like a firewall and they will NOT be bothered (Norten doesn't count as good security LOL)

hope that helps ya!
