RIAA and MPAA only protect copyrighted materials that originated in the States, anime and manga are foreign imported so the only one who can sue you are either licensing companies in America or the studio/publisher of the anime/manga.

I think you're making this stuff up. If you d/l through programs like Kazza lite, which automatically saves that file in .dat format, their is NO WAY they can find out that you are d/l illegal things because their trackers supervise what the files are named such as "The Matrix Revolutions DVD Screener 2CD.mpg" as oppose to "2363849932423.dat". (dont know abt edonkey though) And ubb's right.
