hihi
The RIAA has revealed some of the methods they use to track mp3s.
"According to the documents, the Recording Industry Association of America examined song files on the woman's computer and traced their digital fingerprints back to the former Napster file-sharing service"

The RIAA uses MD5 hashes to identify and track songs. It's been discussed to death here on /.

Bottom line is .. if that is really the way they track songs, then all one has
to do is change the id3 tag, which will produce a completely different hash.
