in my opinion "masking" your IP is sort of like puting one of those reflective covers over your license plate so that "cop cams" can't read your plate number
I'm sure that if someone wants to figure out who you are they will regardless of what ever "shell" you use
if you are really worried about getting busted then just stop downloading music. I agree with everyone that the RIAA and all that shit has gotten out of hand, but if you are affraid of getting in trouble then just stop doing things you can get in trouble for

I am probably misinformed here, but I always thought one had to make money to violate a copyright.

I think you are mostly right. but I still think you need to own a license for any music you have. otherwise one person could just buy a cd and make a hundred copies and give them away to people.
the record company isn't getting any money if people are getting the music free somewhere and that is why there is a problem
IMO I wouldn't really worry about getting busted for downloading music. there are so many f'n people doing it that is it pretty much impossible for the RIAA to bust everyone. basically they are just going to make examples of a few people to scare people away from downloading music
I think your odds of getting busted are about as good as getting hit by lightning or winning the lottery
the laws are getting out of control....bush just urged for an "even tougher" anti-terriost law, where they don't need warrants for arrests and no trial if they suspect you to be a terriost, which can basically can be anyone. a civil war's gonna bust out soon.
