Here in Germany torrent users have always been pretty aggressively pursued. The most common way is for copyright holders to upload their own content, collect IPs, sent out mass infringement notices and collect a few hundred bucks per case. There's an actual industry around it. Unless you're in a jurisdiction where that stuff isn't illegal I think the answer is, yes.
