What is it? If one users decides to share music with a friend through their features can the user who created the account get in serious trouble with lawenforcementsor do you just get banned/warned?

I would expect the files to be removed and then you would be warned/account suspended.

Yeah I read that man but it didn't give that much information. Well I'm happy once it's nothing more than that. I don't think they monitor files, do they? I thought they just take action if someone reports it.

They may search for well known file names or something and if it's clear then that may remove it. I wouldn't expect them to take it any further unless the offence was being repeated over and over again.

It really depends. If it kept happening the law and so on could try and fine you. Its rare though
