Firstly, it is technically impossible for them to get you infected by an application through a p2p app if you download an MP3 file. Unless you are a newb who will download "Eminem Best Song.RIAAFix.REAL!.mp3.EXE.VBS" I dont think you have much to worry about. I guess the worst case would be if they put an autorun EXE on every music CD they release, but itll never happen. Firstly its blatently illegal, and theres no way for them to ever be able to distingush between MP3s of songs you have bought, and songs you dont own. I see nice class lawsuits if they ever attempt to delete a file of another persons PC. Itll never happen.

I dont believe for a second they plan to unleash a virus on the world, however their warefare is psychological. They conveniently leak information on how file sharers will have their PCs disabled etc. Whilst the tech-savvy will laugh at it - I cant see them rooting my PC if they cant even keep their own website w/o being hacked for 20 mins, but the average John Doe wont see this. The more rumours the RIAA spreads, the more people will be discouraged from sharing.
