Can you be caught for downloading music? I know that it is possible to catch downloaders, but is it happening or likely to happen in the future?

I have a library of over 2500 songs, movies, games, and stuff like that that I used to share. I shared gig after gig after gig of stuff but have since stopped sharing files. I still download, so I've joined the freeloading group of users. I would still continue to upload, but I live with my parents and if I get caught, they would be help responsible for my actions. I CAN'T let that happen. However hopefully I shared more than I would ever download in the future. I am just wondering what the risks are concerning downloading only if there are any.

You might want to reread the forum rules. They have been updated to deal with this kind of post.
