How the RIAA tracks music swappers

If ID1/ID3 tags are modified, is there still meta-data that can be embedded in mp3's to uniquely trace such files? And wouldn't modifying the tags change the checksums? If so, I do realize that some of the tracing techniques are targetted towards the average joe users.

i heard from the riaa that they are "calming down." they are not that strict as they used to be. i'm not saying its safe to continue downloading, just that the fear has gone down. the riaa said that they dont want 14 year old arrested because of some musics.
