Hi all,

Well I feel like a bit of a traitor coming in here and asking this question (hee, hee). Anyway here I go, lately I have started to use bittorrent a little bit more as I have found that some of the video files that I want are not on Limewire. I was wondering if it is possible for people to track you down and charge you when you use bittorrent or Limewire for downloading files? Can they find out your IP address and then contact your ISP and find out where you live, etc? Do ISP's know if you're using Limewire or bittorrent? If yes, do they care? I am only downloading T.V. episodes that aren't available where I live, however, apparently that is also still illegal.

Look forward to a reply.
Thanking you,

Note: Someone was recently charged for downloading files off of the internet - could you please tell me how it is possible for this to happen?
