Recently I just download a movie from a torrent site and my relative who signed the contract with the internet provider got a warning via email… It was a scary experience to me since I have never known that downloading a movie via torrent is illegal.
Honestly speaking, that was not the first time I download a file via torrent but I was wondering why only this time I got a warning??? The ISPs are stepping up their effort to combat piracy.

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. Scared the crap out of me and I talked to a guy from the firm that handled legislation for the production company. Needless to I deleted all the movies I downlaoded that day and the Torrent site.

You have already broken the law, but to be honest…considering the mass amount of pirates out there no one will even care.
Deleting them would most certainly help your case, but as I said, there is no case to begin with. Law enforcement has enough problems as it is with millions of people illegally downloading content on a regular basis.

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.

The website offers a simple interface, collects metadata and analyses the DHT network.
