I get that sharing is part of the point, but no one's putting their media collection on an open FTP server.

OK. I'll revise. No one with any sense is doing this. "Hi, RIAA and MPAA, come after me" is an asinine approach. I realize we have at least one generation unfamiliar with Napster, KaZaa and LimeWire, which replaced ratio FTP servers (which in turn replaced F-Servs in IRC). This is terrible online hygiene. You don't leave your media out there for all to see. At least password protect access before linking to your friends.
