And besides that, people should learn how to check their trackers before they download music from P2P networks. They wouldn't get caught if they were smart.
Peace be with you.

Won't work, the music industry doesn't simply set up trackers (although thats one strategy), they just join a swarm and log all of the IP's that connect to them. As for Kazaa and Limewire when they were around, you don't know who you are connecting to. Software like Peerguardian isn't really effective on it's own either.
If people want to be safe they should grab a subscription to an encrypted VPN service, perferably using openVPN and SSL encryption rather than the PPTP stuff most VPN's favour. A cheap service will cost around 5 USD per month or 10 USD for something pretty nice.

What if the artist is dead? Is that considered stealing from the artist or their "estate"?

Once again,
Simple method.
No need to try and justify actions by arguing rights.
It's either legal or not.
Don't steal.
