even if they have our ip addresses, they can't take any legal actions for discussing about piracy right?

Not unless you talk about how you will commit or have committed a specific instance of piracy. E.g. "I downloaded back to the future last night from (insert website)". Then they have reasonable suspicion and can start to subpoena.

Obligatory IANAL. Always do research and ask in lawyer if you wanna talk specifics.
