I had a friend (yes really, it wasn't me) mention that his ISP sent him a stern note saying they'd had a complaint about him downloading pirated software via torrents. I presume because of the two way distributed nature of the torrent protocol it's fairly easy to run a bot and automatically send off complaints to the ISPs associated with infringing IPs.

BTW: anyone older than 30 immediately think of "You Little Thief" in relation to this issue, and seeing the name Feargal Sharkey?
