Is it true that it is easy to get caught using Bit Torrents (by the feds)? I'm hoping not since they can be v. useful.

Torrents are not at all anonymous. Your IP address is exposed for the world to see. Anytime you use P2P apps you should fire up PeerGuardian first. It's spozed to block known anti-p2p organizations from accessing your shares and torrents and stuff. I doubt it's a perfect solution but any precautions are better than none.

It blocks the ranges of IP addresses that are known to be assigned to anti-P2P organizations, government agencies etc. - you know, similar to how a particular ISP will have certain ranges of IP addresses that it is authorized to use and can assign to subscribers.

Its cool because I only download/share child porn. They only care about catching people who hurt big businesses by sharing stuff like the latest Avril Lavine album or "Garfield: The Movie"
