The only way the RIAA will catch you is if you download their fake files or are a big uploader. They do a sharer search and see how much stuff you're sharing, if it's a lot they take you to court. They can't prove that you've been downloading if they don't have access to see what's on your system (ie. sharing/uploading the files you downloaded).

PeerGuardian is a fight against the RIAA and such that blocks known RIAA agents from connecting to your PC and/or you from seeing them - in short, it's just an IP blocker.

If you're that paranoid, why are you posting on these forums? Big bad WDZ and Fishy can see your IP. When you visit msgplus.net, Patchou can see your IP if he so chooses. When you download Messenger Plus! the host can see your IP if they so choose to. And lots lots more.

Proxy farm for the win.
