Particularly if your torrent traffic is encrypted, they don't always bother to check what you are torrenting
Are you just theorizing, or is there precedent of this? I mean of lawyers sending cease and desist letters to people torrenting random encrypted streams of data?

When I was working in p2p research, we used to get regular C&Ds just for scraping the tracker (not even downloading anything!). IP holders be wilding
Appreciate your response, madness indeed!
Do companies send out C&Ds for your average user torrenting? I've gotten thousands of DMCA letters but never a C&D, and I've only ever heard of 1 person getting one, and they were silly enough to be hosting a collection of paid content that they scraped themselves, from their home.
DMCA demands are, as far as I'm aware, completely automated and couldn't really cost much.
Some of the reasons consists of lawyers sending put costly cease and desist letters even to "legitimate" users
