Has anyone on reddit actually been in trouble for downloading movies, tv shows and music? I live in Australia and I have never heard of this happening to anyone. Recently the government stated that they have no time for petty things like downloading when there's more important things to take care of but said its still "morally" wrong. If a copyright holder like Malibu Media or Strike 3 believes a person or persons has downloaded protected content without permission, they may take two courses of action.

They will go after the person uploading the games and they dont go further than that. When you torrent, the riaa goes after your isp, not even you.
