i am wondering why the RIAA isn't filing lawsuits against Hub owners and such on Direct Connect. is it because its a different kind of program / different way of trading files?

the reason they nabbed kazaa users is because they don't need to agree to anything before they check out what files you have. a lot of privates hubs have connect messages like "if you are acting on behalf of the RIAA or any government organization, disconnect now" or something to that extent. the ftps that don't have messages like that are the ones who get nabbed.

My server states that "if you are not the owner of this server and its files, log off now or be faced with legal action."

nah, what they said and

it would take the riaa far too long to figure out how to use it

No, the government would turn to an incarcerated legendary super hacker and offer him the deal of a lifetime: his freedom in return for helping them figure out direct connect.

I am sure that would stop them. That sounds really legal. No lawyer would be able to tear that apart.
