The Transmission torrent client has an option to set a Blocklist, which helps protect you from getting caught and having the DMCA send a letter/email.
It's as simple as downloading and installing the latest client:
After installing, navigate through the menu: Edit > Preferences > Privacy:
- Check enable blocklist
- Paste in: https://github.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists/raw/master/bt_blocklists.gz (peep the curls) (github)
- Check Enable automatic updates
- Click Update
- Close
