Any way to prevent being caught/sued?

Just wondering-I use to be a big torrent downloader, but now I am afraid to get sued. I still download documentaries-not afraid of being sued over those. Any solutions?
 
I'd think if you stay away from big movies and video games, especially if they haven't even been released to the public yet, your chances of not running into trouble will be much better.

Eh...that's where I"m at too. And in the few years I've been downloading I haven't received any type of emails(*knocks wood*). Although I don't download through bittorrent exclusively. I also use forums and newsgroups.

If you're going to use bittorrent then I would do what TS suggested. I also (usually)stay away from files that haven't reached the shelves/theaters yet. So I personally believe if you stay out of those swarms then you have a better chance staying off the radar.

Plus if your ISP has a monthly cap I would think not going over it would help also.
 
Get a dedicated server. Goto Wal-Mart and buy a prepaid cc. Goto the library and transfer the money to egold -> western union -> paypal. You can do this in 1hr (I do) Where I live, we have privacy laws, so police cannot request my data. The company can't give up my personal info (may be different in your country).

Install openBSD. If you can't, install what OS you can, jail your user and install truecrypt. Then secure your irc, ftp, ssh, vnc and bittorent connections on the server. Don't forget to have truecrypt on your home computer. If you do this, you won't get caught ever. Even if the police kicks down your door (extremely unlikely if you are just downloading movies/games/music)

That's just borderline paranoid.
 
10 dollars a month for newsgroups access is really cheap to have peace of mind, I don't remember downloading much of anything that is 0-day on bittorrent since I'm using it and that's mainly where you can get fuck.
