On the other hand, making new precedent?

Is it that new? For the most part, the only people getting targeted with more than stern letters from their ISPs nowadays are members of cracking/release groups, or hosts of trackers themselves.

Im sorta worried if they do get punished for it, because if anything that'll make the precedent to punish torrenters over the current precedent of targeting original uploaders.
