I don't think the police have ever busted anybody for using bittorrent. At worst you'll get a DMCA notice from your ISP.

Do you have a source for that?

How could I? Why don't you look for examples of people being arrested for using Bit torrent. They're rare, if not nonexistent.

I meant like that there was a law that said that...I dunno. Okay, thanks.

No, but that's just how things are. You're more likely to be hit by a car than caught on bit torrent.
