6) Bittorrent is not liked among the higher level "release" groups. There is an ongoing war between the "elitist" hackers who are the first to crack software and strictly use FTP to share amongst themselves and bittorrent sites. They get mad when they see their releases that were only meant for their groups ending up on bittorrent sites. They wage war on the sites and problems 1-4 are of even greater concern.
Actually there was an incident recently where one of the "elitist" hacker groups exposed the identity of one of the torrent site owners because they did not like their "warez" ending up on his site.

But to the OP I can say that your friend will not have *that* kind of problems unless he is high-profile in the torrent scene.
