One really does not know when the investigation starts or which Torrent site is/will be investigated. You really never know when you open the door, if a summons will be waiting on the other side.
If that happens, you can rest assured that whatever you saved by downloading Spiderman 4 is offset by your attorney fees. And ignorance of the law is no excuse, as we (hopefully) know.
And if you're broke, thinking they can't take your money, nevertheless, they CAN destroy whatever credit rating you had left.
I think this whole thing is a big mess. Content creators are hammered for protecting their work by people that would never tolerate shoplifting or someone taking stuff from their homes; the industry groups are viewed as terrible people, and the public wants free stuff.
The industry largely is holding out for a restricted marketplace, controlled by them, at a price THEY dictate.
Steve Jobs showed their audio colleagues the folly of their ways years ago.
