Yes, but...
a) You will find a lot of content out there, some legally there, much not.
b) Trolling for copyright violators on BitTorrent trackers has replaced
ambulance-chasing as the lazy lawyer's revenue generator. It's
essentially extortion-as-Nigerian-spam, and while they may not ever get
any money out of you, your ISP doesn't like getting those letters.
Though if your taste in downloads runs toward 'Well-Oiled Snap-On Girls
#26' they might get a good laugh out of the video titles.
c) Therefore, if you intend to step into the torrents, even if you are
intending to download only content you *believe* to be legit, you may
want to find a good encrypted tunnel service (preferably one that at
least credibly claims not to keep any logging e.g.
privateinternetaccess) to use just to prevent mistakes from becoming
takedown-letter-bait.
John.
