Hmmmm.... well if they are participating in the swarm, they are also feeding you their copyrighted material. This sounds like entrapment to me, or at least tacit permission to download their stuff. If they are not sending material, they are tagged as leechers and banned by the tracker.

If the copyright holder sends you the file, aren't they abrogating any rights to it?

Could you prove you got part of the file from them?
Would be funny if the ISP ended up reporting on each other!

Of course. Any decent firewall can log connections. My Norton firewall is set up to "allow" connections to my p2p port, and LOG the connection.

It would be difficult to claim copyright violation, if the copyright holder, or one of it's paid goons, is the source of the file no?

I can't see how the argument "I know you stole the file because I gave it to you" can have any validity in such a situation.
