Thousands of New Jerseyans are in the process of being sued for allegedly sharing copyrighted files with others.

According to NorthJersey.com,

An independent record label, a foreign film company and several pornography studios have declared war on illegal file sharing in New Jersey, suing more than 12,000 people since June for allegedly using peer-to-peer networks to unlawfully distribute copyrighted material over the Internet.

File-sharing is a very dangerous pastime. While they say "everyone else is doing it," you still run that risk of being the one person a company catches. It could be worse. The FBI has been known to bust open cases like this over the years as well.
