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'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.) It's probably in the government's best interest to keep you alive, even if you've torrented. (Of course, I don't pirate stuff anymore. I doubt I'll ever feel like I'm off their radar ever again. Not worth the risk.)
