AFAIK, anti-piracy companies fish for IP addresses via BitTorrent, than 
send notices to internet providers responsible for those IP addresses. 
Because Tor is a proxy, they will send notices to internet providers 
catering to exit nodes. If an exit node does not browse the Web (I am 
confident that they don't), it'll be fine.
