Try installing a program like Google's Picasa on your computer. It will scour your entire filesystem for graphic images. Try installing a program like say Amarok. It will scour your entire filesystem for music files. As Hans alluded to, just the mere presence of samba/ftp/http/ssh provides file sharing protocols which for all purposes makes all files on a computer accessible once the computer is powered up. The whole point is that the RIAA is attempting to make the point that if the files are accessible, the process of say ripping a CD to your hard drive is an illegal act, regardless of your intent simply because the files are accessible.
