Yeah, but then you aren't really helping the community. You should probably strive to keep a s/l ratio of at least 1. Either way, you encrypt yourself so your IP doesn't know you are DLing from torrents. Second of all if you are really that scared join a good private community. The only problem about private communities is that they tend to force you to keep a nice high ratio, which sometimes can be hard to do because all the other seeds are getting all the upload points. I know one private community where I can find anything pretty much, but they require that you provide every freaking bit of information on the album and I don't feel like asking 10 people how to get that information. If there was an expert I would ask him, but I don't want to take up their time. I would ask the person that invited me to tell me, but I am already bothering him enough about Linux.

This puts you at a high risk for getting your IP targeted by the RIAA or their cronies.

The RIAA isn't working to sue individual people anymore. I can almost guarantee it. After Isohunt wins their case the RIAA will be put in their case for good. Then they will go back to suing programs. By the time the RIAA gets done with all of this torrenting will be much easier to hide.
