The DMCA you received probably had more to do with who you shared it with than where you got it from.

I agree with you 100%. This is the only point I was trying to make. Others took the opportunity to attack me because of my ratio. I only used TTD for downloading boots, nothing else. So, it looks to me like the people that issue DMCA's are actively using this site to target those downloading/sharing. I'm not an expert on torrents and how they are shared or spread, but I'm not sure how I could have shared files outside TTD users. I was only trying to let others know what happened to me to hopefully prevent it happening to others. It's a fair bet that this info also gets passed on to organizations that go after the torrents sites to try to shut them down.
