In the US, both downloading and uploading of copyrighted material counts as infringement if not given explicit permission to do so. Not uploading only helps you to not get caught. Once you're caught, you're screwed, even if you didn't upload. Looks like it's time for Leadbetter to move to Canada, where the government feels that the blank media levy brings in enough money that downloading copyrighted files without explicit permission is okay. PS: I hear that PeerGuaridan helps filter out MediaSentry, although I'm not sure since I don't use P2P for music.
