Downloading Don'ts
In looking for file traders to sue, apparently the meanies at the RIAA have created a short list of target files that users may be sharing online.

According to an MSN story, the organization has employed automated tools to sniff out computer users sharing files including the songs:

Bobby McFerrin, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”
Thompson Twins, “Hold Me Now”
Eagles, “Hotel California”
George Michael, “Kissing A Fool”
Paula Abdul, “Knocked Out”
Green Day, “Minority”
UB40, “Red Red Wine”
Ludacris “Area Codes”
Marvin Gaye, “Sexual Healing”
Avril Lavigne, “Complicated”

The lesson: Don't download worn-out songs you can hear any old day on some cheesy adult contemporary station anyway. (OK, I doubt KOST or KBIG are playing Ludacris. But otherwise...) The RIAA's going to sue you. Otherwise, download away! Whoo-hoo! Or don't.
