What if you DO fileshare, but don't disobey copyright law?
Then you won't get challenged because AFAIK the challenges are based on alleged sharing of specific items such as a game/movie/music track. Legitimate items - such as Linux distros - won't be on the watched list so you won't attract attention sharing them :)

That's not to say mistakes don't happen, especially if you're on a dynamic IP, what's to say that you don't pick up an IP address which was used by someone who was infringing, it's happened in the past, or at least little old ladies have been accused of downloading gay porn.
