Sorry, what?

Downloading copyrighted content is very, very rarely the problem.

It's the uploading (the sharing!) of copyrighted content where you actually get into trouble.

If you actually care, then simply configure your client to leech. Every client I've ever used or heard of supports this.

But more to the point, getting tricked into seeding a copyrighted movie by a torrent masquerading as a Debian ISO isn't something that actually happens. That's absurd FUD.

Errm, you posted:

> "This is just fear mongering, the same exact thing can happen with a web browser, I click a link to view an image of a cat but... oops, it was actually a Getty copyrighted picture of a dog! Oh nooooo."

No-one cares whether you download an open-sourced photo of a cat or a copyrighted photo of a dog.

Why would anyone claim that?

It's a terrible comparison to torrents.
