Question torrents being watched
I was looking up some torrent sites(isohunt) and found many of the newly created torrents are being reported as being WATCHED. The downloaders say they are receiving legal calls over Copyright infringement.

I know these may be arising only in the US or may just be a false alarm, but being just an average-internet-know-how user I need to know whether there is anything to worry about sitting in India and if there is any way of protecting from being tracked by these agencies. pl tell

I guess it's just a rumour. Else, it would have been in news.

Yes, Mininova is already limited to publish torrents of the materials which don't have a copyright. Damn these courts.

Mininova has taken down tarckers quite a while ago. I myself came to know of this just a week ago. But I am not a regular downloader. I am surprised that the large torrent community in this forum here made no posts to this effect.
