So, what you're saying is, that if I make a mix tape for my girlfriend, and then later on we break up, and then her new boyfriend shares her music collection on a file sharing network, that I've done something wrong, and I ought to have my personal name and email address in the hands of everyone who downloads a copy of those files, and I should not be informed that this is a risk?

Yes, and what if someone erases the real data, puts your data in its place, and the puts the track on bearshare. Then you get in trouble when you had nothing to do with the sharing at all. It makes me uncomfortable.

They could do that right now, in the ID3 comments field.

It's entirely about how it's used, in my opinion.
