Can you be arrested for downloading movies and series via torrent?

You know when you really wanted to watch a movie and couldn't find it on any streaming service and it wasn't in theaters either. That's when torrent comes in. It's an online location where people can make files available and download them. And these files are usually movies and series. The piracy system for downloading movies shouldn't be news to you, but maybe what you don't know is that these movies and series are protected by copyright law. In other words, they can only be transmitted or distributed on the market with permission from whoever holds the economic rights to the production. If you already knew that, but think it's all good because the website gives you the impression that you'll do everything anonymously, you're wrong. With the connection IP, it's not difficult to identify users. And believe me, actions to stop this type of activity have increased considerably.

Now, I'm sure your biggest doubt is: Will I be arrested?
