I received one of those infamous warnings a few years back about some shitty mp3 i downloaded... Im on comcast cable here in the states.... I regularly download 2-300 gigs of data a month (movies tv shows music games porn etc) and haven't received any warnings since. Downloading isn't illegal... its uploading to others that is, unfortunately if everyone just leaches no one would be able to get anything. The big thing to worry about is if you are re-distributing for a profit... that is when you WILL get prosecuted if caught. Otherwise they tend to just warn/scare you hoping that will stop you from downloading. IF your truly worried then burn everything to dvd wipe it from your HDD and lock it in a safe when not in use.
