Correcting 2 inaccuracies in that article:

1. The RIAA has never sued anyone for downloading.
2. Jammie Thomas-Rasset was fined for making available/sharing/uploading those songs, not downloading.

The RIAA only goes after uploaders, not downloaders.

Anyone using torrents or other P2P services is automatically uploading if they are downloading. Even if it is just for the duration of the downloading of the files.

Lashiec:
You can always mark the option to not upload anything. There, solved ;D

Carol Haynes:
The way most torrents work if you do that it is likely to take 4 years to download a single track ;)

Innuendo:
Unless you use a 'leech' client.

Not that I'm advocating anyone use one of those.
