Uploads, not downloads, for what it's worth. RIAA has been focusing on uploaders for some legal reason.

Thank you. This detail is ignored in most accounts I read. The RIAA has been going after people for redistributing copyrighted material, not for downloading. However, the hype about it is always about downloading.
The RIAA would like both to stop, but I think they encourage the idea that lawsuits have been about downloading rather than uploading because that (they hope) will drive more people to buy instead of snarf.
