Just FYI, as someone who was arrested by the FBI for computer hacking and at the time had ~20 GB of illegally downloaded MP3s and SNES ROMs: They didn&#x27;t even bother investigating it. They even returned my laptop to me mostly unmolested. (I assume they left an implant and quickly ditched it after recovering the stuff I wanted and backing it up online.)<p>It&#x27;s probably in the government&#x27;s best interest to keep you alive, even if you&#x27;ve torrented.<p>(Of course, I don&#x27;t pirate stuff anymore. I doubt I&#x27;ll ever feel like I&#x27;m off their radar ever again. Not worth the risk.)
