True. But point is that media companies can trivially know the IP and time it was used to download/upload.
And yes most peoples upload, 'cause its too slow otherwise.
Then you are one subpoena away from being IDed.
Yes, I know that currently not much was done against torrent users since there are just too much of them, but that slowly changes.
Besides as a Linux user that also doesn't like much ether music nor movies, I don't have any reason to pirate anything.

Lemme, turn on my ADSL modem we have here at my $BIG BUCKS HOLYWOOD COMPANY. Yep got you. Expect lawsuit any minute now....
Really, seriously, your IP is available to everyone. YOU are broadcasting it to the whole world. Thats the bad thing about torrents that always scared me.
Nothing prevents them to connect to me as a regular user and then no peerblock could save me.
