Remember that bittorrent is peer to peer network.. so, do be able to receive the file from people uploading, they need your IP address to send it to you. What copyright owners can do it connect up to BT, and obtain the IP addresses of people uploading and downloading it. With the IP, they can work out your ISP... and then go to them to ask who you are (which is where some law suits can come in to play as the copy right holders try to get the ISP to hand over the downloaders personal details). If you're worried, you should try running PeerGuardian. Free software which has lists of corporation IP addresses (regularly updated) so it can refuse connections originating from them. I think a lot of people in America downloading latest hollywood movies etc like to use it.
