Where can I find out stuff about an IP address, like ISP, etc.; and also, what IP's are safe to dl music from without the RIAA suing me.

Biggest threat when downloading music from a Gnutella client is sharing files. If you are in fear of being caught by the RIAA, don't share any files.. just download :)

But doesn't the RIAA share files and if you download one of those files they sue you?

Most of the people I have heard of getting caught, got caught because they were sharing files. I would imagine it is possible to get caught downloading something directly from an RIAA hosted machine though :cry:

The RIAA does not serve files, they only look for people who serve files.
