Very little if you do it right, just a and c.
b - you can get round making life difficult for them.

How?

You can't tell them how if their email bounces.
How 'bout using a proxy server with your torrent client? Wouldn't the
proxy address be displayed rather than the "real" IP? Azureus has
options for it, but I couldn't get it to work, even though the proxy
did work for web browsing.

It works, and I haven't noticed any appreciable loss of
speed going through a VPN tunnel, though HopFrog
suggested you might. My Demonoid ratio is still
updating daily, so long as Demonoid knows my VPN
IP address.
Most of the proxy servers seem to be in countries
where MPIA might have problems getting server records,
so they will be more likely to go for soft targets.

You're extremely safe if you just change your IP address daily.
They can't get enough data on you to both the ISP if you keep changing your
ISP. That's how the kids in the universities stay totally safe.

Sorry, not true. You have obviously not seen server logs and the detail
they contain.
You cannot change your IP address as it is assigned to you by your ISP.
Just because an IP address is dynamic does not mean it changes every
time you start your computer or reboot your router/firewall. I have had
the same IP for at least the last 6 months. The DHCP server that hands
out IP addresses dynamically will typically give the same IP address to
the same computer. The DHCP server knows the computer by the MAC
address of the network card (actually the chip on the card) in the
computer or router/firewall.
Changing your ISP daily gets sort of expensive and probably inside of a
week you will run out of ISPs to switch too.
The RIAA most likley does not bother with university students, students
don't have money.
As for collecting data. A packet sniffer can be setup to collect data
only destined to a single IP address and can even be refined by
protocol. When the data is verified for the desired content it is a
simple matter of getting the ISP to matchup the IP address to a person
from the server logs and then comes that knock on the door. It would
take five minutes to collect enough data to hang a guy.
Your best bet is to use a client that encrypts the data before sending.
It is true that encryption can be cracked but 128 bit ecrypion takes
years. How many computers can the RIAA have tied up doing this. The RIAA
will go for the easy pickings, the unencrypted data.
ul need to use a proxy tunneler like the 1 available at www.your-freedom.net

I downloaded the java application and filled out the form and installed the
software but it never created an account nor did it send any confirmation
to my yahoo account.
Does the "your-freedom" proxy registration work for anyone else with a
yahoo account?

I don't understand how encrypting the data protects us when uploading or
downloading P2P files?
Doesn't every client that uploads to me or downloads from me get the
decrytpion key?
If so, where's the protection in encryption? I'm soooo confused!
