Pinned this as it's worth being THE post to which we direct anyone asking about what they should do if they've received any alarming correspondence.

You are correct that the vast majority of non-commercial torrent downloaders will never be sued but some people feel intimidated and some of them may prefer--and be capable of comprehending--solid information rather than mere "don't worry" sound bites. Legitimate as those sound bites may be.

It is certainly worth a look if you are seriously interested in the subject or if you are contemplating spending money on a lawyer or on paying a "fine".

It will certainly be too much for dilettantes.
