A word of caution: be very careful what you download. If you are downloading blockbuster movies via torrent, most likely they are illegal. Actually false only illegal to use torrents if u make a profit off of it. Not to download anything shared. Only person who can be charged is uploader if had not paid to access or view product however if had paid and uploaded but say someome bought a dvd or blurae and uploaded copy without making any profit then technically that is their legal right as they purchased that copy.
One could argue payong streaming or cable shows are on gives same rights. Really comes down to if peoppe are smart enough about the specifics of laws. They once tried with me and i proved it was shared copy someone had bought and paid for thus couldnt charge me. Obviously greedy companys do try to go after people illegally and if people arent educated theu cant fight back. I got the same warning.
It was for a brand new movie that was still in theaters. I believe since it was a copy of a screening for audiences before theater release the production company kept track of who was downloading it and sharing it.

You will be fine. To shut down a website, the government has to go through a lot of bureaucracy. I prefer it that way. The less the government can interfere, the better it is for all of us, even non-pirates. Piracy can be solved through private solutions. Torrent sites are next to impossible to shut down. Governments have raided and seized all the computers and stuff at a location where the website was at.
The torrent website was thus shutdown, and it was open once again in less than 48hrs. These sites do a lot of backups of their systems and can get a new location for their servers quickly, but they still have to buy new computers and get everything setup on them, before the website can be up and running again.
Whereas others, such as Mininova. The site is hosted in the Netherlands, and decided to comply with their law that was passed They were shutdown and moved several times before this.

I got one warning via a letter from my cable provider, I then switched to Verizon FiOS as my provider. I then got a nother warning: however it was a phone call. Three years later I got a guy in a suit and tie knocking on my door with a list of all the downloads I had done in an amount for me to pay as a lovely fine!
