heh if you choose to use a p2p app DONT use kazaa hunt around and you can still find K-Lite mirrored (the main site may have been shut down by sharman but work still goes on) then no spyware.

Also the way you get done is by search bots that run searches 24/7 and if it finds a match they log ip of the sources (to get the ip they have to initiate a transfer and then can get the ip from the packets). This method however is very flawed as you can get a nasty letter (i have myself) when you are only sharing a file that has been renamed to something copyrighted eg a fake - now i actually challenged this and threatened to sue as I had not done anything wrong and i got a formal written apology from both MediaForce and NTL (who didnt investigate and just carried out MediaForces demands without question), now this apology is my prize and joy as at one point i was a developer on K-lite ++ 2.6 and i thought it was rather ironic.

So in order to not get caught by the snoops you can do 1 of 2 things or both
1) Use peerguardian or bad ip blocker that is included with k-lite, these are apps that stop certain ips that have been reported as being copyright protection agencies or otherwise unsavoury characters. from connecting to you.
2) This is something i hate to say but it has to be said DONT SHARE, if you dont share they cant catch you by attempting to download from you.

Now i am only stating this for reference purposes and I have to say I no longer tolerate copyright violations (hence my leaving the k-lite project) but that doesnt mean i cant tell ppl how not to get caught by users who are actually gaining illegal access to our systems for the purpose of law enforcement. A very clear breach of our civil rights to privacy
