I found an interesting story on yahoo news that the music industry finally admits that music-swapping lawsuits are a waste of time. There's just too many people doing it and the lawsuits that have happened are not enough to deter people from stopping.
The new strategy: If the music industry finds out that you're swapping music files online, it will send an e-mail to your ISP, which will in turn forward the message to you. Probably with a little "P.S." asking you to stop. If you don't stop, your service provider probably won't sue you, but it might slow down your broadband connection, or cut off your service altogether.
I guess time will tell if this will deter people from music-sharing. Certainly the previous and current lawsuits have not!
