Can I get in trouble if mpaa/riaa find get my ip address from a torrent site ?

Question

Im talking hypothetically if the mpaa/riaa get your ip address from a torrent site thats been forced to hand them over will I still get in trouble or do they have to catch me actually downloading the torrent itself?

Plus on the side note I've stopped using p2p for like 4 weeks so what are the risks of getting caught???

Answer 1

Yes and no. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. So they can sue you based on your exposed IP address or just cause you nailed the RIAA's lawyers daughter - but they can't, at this point, win. Thus they are unlikely to bring anymore of these suits after losing two.
