Has anyone ever gotten in trouble for uploading/seeding torrents? (lemmy.world)

I know it's against the law, but I found conflicting information regarding how likely it is to be enforced.

So assuming you don't have a massive quantity of data upload, is torrenting some pirated (copyrighted) content relatively safe or not?

Have you ever gotten in trouble for this (or someone you know)?

It's against the law, so there is chance you eventually get caught, if your seeding copyrighted material. I do not know anybody who was caught, but if your naive, you might get in trouble.
