I heard about RIAA doing this a month ago. They sited Grokster, E-Donkey, and Kazaa as the main targets. Also, I think they are primarily concerned with bittorrent sites, to crack down on movie sharing.
But I'm sure you know that they are focused on file sharers with large music libraries. As long as you are not sharing 100s of songs, the chances of a lawsuit are slim.
Usually the lawsuits are within 100s-1000s, not millions. For those who do get one, they're f*cked. You'll either go to jail(not likely) or pay a ridiculous fine.
