I think the days of being hauled into court based on your IP are gone; the new risk is just having your internet connection shut off by your ISP for getting too many takedown notices -- whether they are for content you downloaded, or your anonymous friend over Tor, or just a mistake on the enforcement agency doesn't really matter. Said another way, anonymization doesn't provide any defense against a determined attacker armed with an automated takedown notice system. It doesn't care if it's your download or not; it only cares that it's coming from a server you own. Everybody in the world using Tor doesn't change this (unless you mean to "load balance" takedown notices equally across everyone, but this presumes that only a minority of Tor traffic would generate takedown notices -- something I don't think would be true if 100% of torrent users went through Tor). -david
